Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has been criticised for a two-footed tackle made on Man City’s Joleon Lescott during last nights Carling Cup tie.
Johnson jumped in with studs showing but took the ball cleanly, but the tackle was very similar to that of City defender Vincent Kompany, who was sent off for his effort during Sunday’s FA Cup defeat to Man Utd.
Roberto Mancini was left incensed by the ‘double standards’ and ‘inconsistent’ refereeing, and is reported to have had a row about the tackle with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in the tunnel after the game.
Watch the video below, should Johnson have been sent off for this?
