That was a really poor and late one from Micky van de Ven yesterday and this is the consequence, yet it wasn’t looked at. https://t.co/Ly4h1SPnKS — David Lynch (@davidlynchlfc) December 21, 2025 Isak scored so it wasn't made a big deal at the time, but Van de Ven should've been sent off for this. Spurs has two men sent off yesterday and Van de Ven’s challenge was worse than both Simons’ and Romero’s. https://t.co/wrLBFn43fP — Ste Hoare (@stehoare) December 21, 2025 Not even a yellow card received for these awful scissor tackles… These players should be punished after games, whatever was their intention, you don't go into tackles like that pic.twitter.com/jiI9A223Ki — Living Liverpool (@Livin_Liverpool) December 21, 2025 Really bad challenge from Van de Ven, even though I think his only intention was a desperate attempt to block the shot.

Was a potential leg-breaker and worse than Simons on Van Dijk. https://t.co/kCWXuI5dE9 — James Nalton (@JDNalton) December 21, 2025 Said it yesterday, will say it again: van de Ven should have been sent off for that tackle. I’m not sure VAR even looked at it. https://t.co/AO7cpXYGeB — Chris Hewitt (@ChrisHewittLFC) December 21, 2025 Why wasn’t Van de Ven sent off for his reckless and late challenge on Isak?

He's ended Isak's season after repeat reckless challenges and should get a match ban for that. — R E X (@thatrexguy) December 21, 2025 Isak can't get a break, finally gets his moment, great finish but then gets cleaned out by Van De Ven. Van Dijk was at risk of having his foot broken, Van Der Ven made a dangerous… pic.twitter.com/VuPF5x8rSg — LFC Unlocked (@LFCUNLOCKED) December 21, 2025 Can't get over how players escape GBH-level challenges once their opponent has gotten their shot off first.
