The Premier League has issued a statement to clarify why Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was not shown a straight red card for his tackle on Chelsea's Reece James on Saturday.
Towards the end of a feisty first half, Bentancur stopped Chelsea's counter attack with a forceful tackle on James, catching the defender on the ankle.
The Chelsea captain was furious to see referee Jarred Gillett only reach for a yellow card, convinced that it should have been deemed serious foul play.
As soon as Bentancur made contact with James' ankle, several players from both sides came together in a chaotic melee, which resulted in Trevoh Chalobah also being shown a yellow card after getting in the face of the Uruguayan.
