Like I said, I've only seen the incident live and it happened fast and they never showed a replay.
When the ref was explaining the red card to the Leeds players he clearly indicated that it was a decision made by the VAR ref. He kept tapping his earpiece.
I dont know if it was a 'Game Management' Red or if they just deemed it a dangerous tackle, but the VAR ref made the call.
Strujick looked pretty shook up after though, but never seemed to dispute the call.
I'm inclined to agree though, just one of those freak accidents. I'm glad it didnt get heated or out of control. Huge credit to both sets of players.
