A notch on the live feed, or the right decision? See what Tomori was sent off for against Chelsea

Some of the judges’ decisions are more successful, some less so. But the referee’s sending off of Fikayo Tomori in the AC Milan vs Chelsea match is at least very questionable.

A very important match is taking place at the San Siro. AC Milan and Chelsea are fighting for the second place in the group, before today’s duel Milan had 4 points, Blues had three.

But the match is practically over before it can even start. The German referee Daniel Siebert entered the action in a very negative way.

In the 18th minute, he sent off Fikay Tomori in a very questionable manner. The Chelsea alumnus of AC Milan in a duel with Mason Mount actually very lightly pulled his hand on the shoulder of the Blues striker, but not intensely, there are plenty of such interventions.

The English footballer tried to finish on his long leg and then fell. But to everyone’s surprise, the referee gave a penalty and a red card to Tomori.

The penalty kick was converted by Jorginho, and in the 34th minute Aubameyang’s goal was practically over.

If Tomori had actually pulled Mounta down in a goal chance, a red card really should have been issued according to the rules. If he took it by slipping it from behind over his ankles, it’s just a yellow, that’s how weird the rules are set, Eduardo Santos experienced it recently in the Slavia vs Plzen game.

But here the question is whether Tomori pulled Mount in any serious way, if it was a foul at all.
