Yeah I agree that tackle was a horror show. he's been very lucky he didn't hit the plant leg with those studs or he would have been out for a long time suspended. I don't get that with the EPL, you only punish an act like that when it genuinely hurts someone even though there's a terribly reckless tackle at best and more likely seemed to be intent to injure.
