But technically, if we use the wording from hillandale's post, the Bournemouth player, like Hery, wasn't 'moving towards the opponents goal' at the instant of the foul.
Hery had pulled the ball wide to go round the 'keeper; the Bournemouth player was running almost parallel to the goal line and was further from goal than Hery.
There may well have been a case for the Watford player to be shown a yellow card, but a foul in the penalty area isn't a mandatory caution.
Regardless of all this, it's interesting we're still having the debate even after viewing the incident on video footage several times. |
