Mike Dean

Speaking on Sky Sports' Soccer Special, the former Premier League referee said: "That challenge has gone in and Tarkowski has played the ball.

There is speed, intensity, force, the lot.

"He gets the ball but, the follow-through, that's a terrible challenge and for me he should have gone to the screen, should have sent Tarkowski off, 100 per cent.

Mac Allister was there, [Tarkowski was] doing an old-fashioned follow-through - take the lot.

"Yeah, he's [Tarkowski] lucky because he's gone high.

I think he's very lucky there, Tarkowski.

"There will be some saying it's a natural follow-through but, trust me, you do not need to follow-through like that with such force, it's high, he's very lucky.

A classic get away with it, kick the ball away and follow-through, rather than putting it back on the ground."

Premier League Match Centre

Explaining their officials' decision on social media, the Premier League Match Centre wrote: "The referee's call of yellow card for a reckless foul by Tarkowski was checked by the VAR - with contact on the follow-through after Tarkowski had played the ball deemed to be reckless."

Since starting my job on the sports desk, I have been involved in several of these articles where an incident splits opinion.

Tarkowski wanted to prove his devotion to the cause but he misplaced that passion entirely, and he's fortunate that the Premier League cannot give a retrospective ban.

I'm yet to hear from anyone who doesn't believe Tarkowski was lucky to still be on the pitch after a quarter past eight on Wednesday night - regardless of any affiliation to either team.
