DEAN WAS RIGHT NOT TO SHOW SILVA A RED

DAVID SILVA committed a careless foul on James Maddison when already on a yellow card, but it didn’t deserve a second caution. The Spaniard’s booking for an earlier foul on Youri Tielemans during a Leicester break was a clear yellow, a deliberate trip, and the Manchester City star could have no complaints when Mike Dean showed yellow. However, that does not mean his next foul should result in a red card, just because he has already been booked. He should be afforded the same treatment as any player in that they can commit three or four careless fouls before being cautioned.
