“In commentary I’m looking to defend Lo Celso, I’m looking to say, ‘Well the action he’s taken was to try and win the ball.’
“Clearly the more I look at it though, I’m going to fall on my own sword because that’s a red card. I was wrong in commentary looking at it.
“This is the perfect example where we clearly saw Michael didn’t see the initial contact and had David Coote, the VAR, said: ‘Look, there’s elements of a red card Michael You may want to go and have a look yourself’, then I think knowing the way that Michael referees and the confident level he’s refereeing it, he would issued a disciplinary sanction.
