Jagielka lunge deserved red

- MARK CLATTENBUR­G

WHEN Phil Jagielka miscontrol­led the ball, that was a sign that the Everton defender might lunge in to retrieve it. At that point the referee needs to concentrat­e and get the best angle to determine whether the lunge endangers the opponent — as it did here. Jagielka caught Diogo Jota above the ankle at speed and with his studs showing. That is a red card for serious foul play. Craig Pawson got it right but then allowed the free-kick to be taken from the wrong position, closer to the goal, which made it easier for Neves to score.
