Giovani Lo Celso is a lucky boy.
The Argentine seemed certain to be sent off against Chelsea after his tackle on Cesar Azpilicueta went to a VAR review.
It seemed innocuous at first glance but the replays from this angle show just how nasty this could have been for Azpilicueta.
How is this not a red card😂😂😂 that is absolutely ridiculous. #locelso #azpilicueta pic.twitter.com/7SldnKMyWi

VAR official David Coote took a long look at it and somehow recommended no action.
I don’t think Lo Celso has gone in to do him deliberately – it looks like an attempt to drag the ball back with his studs gone wrong.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t really dangerous. Definite red.
