He knows he’s on a yellow card. He’s asked the referee to make a decision.

“We talked about consistency last week… and in this case, more are going to get yellow cards than not.”Image via Sky SportsHowever, Bothroyd argued: “It’s one of these challenges where he’s trying to get back and he’s clipped his heels and made contact.“Is it a second yellow? There’s a defender there as well, it’s not like he [Ngumoha] is through on goal.

I’m not entirely sure he’s done it on purpose.
