"Yeah. That should be checked because it was never a foul nor enough to warrant a red card," Drury said as the referee got to the machine.
He stood over it for what felt like longer than it was as the angles came through one by one, starting from Izan's challenge, which, from the main camera, had looked forceful and reckless, though the others seemed to tell a different story from everywhere else.
The leg had been low and clean, the ball had been won, and Kane had gone over it, not because of the tackle, but because his momentum had already taken him past the point of no return.
There was no malice, and there was barely even contact with the man.
With his decision made in mind, the referee straightened and walked back onto the pitch.
The Emirates stared on as the referee made the decision that could make or break the game for both teams and in the end, he waved away the red card.
