Darren Bent discusses what should happen to Matty Cash now after Rodrigo Bentancur injury news
Although not deemed a red card challenge at the time, some Spurs fans feel retrospective action is needed given the extent of this new injury.
On the other hand, many believe that it wasn’t the best tackle by any means, but was one commonly seen in football, and nothing outrageous.
And Andy Goldstein and Darrent Bent have now been disagreeing on the ramifications Matty Cash should face.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Goldstein was convinced that the Villa defender should face a ban.
Goldstein said: “This is appalling. Bentancur was forced off just 23 minutes into his first start since February after falling victim to a crude challenge from Matty Cash.”
Bent replied: “That’s why the Spurs players were going crazy.”
Goldstein: “Yeah, but retrospectively, Matt Cash – and by all accounts a lovely fella, I have met him once and he seemed like a lovely guy, but irrelevant of who did that challenge he should be retrospectively banned.”
Bent: “By the letter of the law the tackle was not…it was awful, but it wasn’t high. It wasn’t out of control.
Goldstein: “It was! It was just below the shin.”
Bent: “I still wouldn’t say it was a red card but when you look at what’s happened you think b—— hell. But I didn’t look at it and think that’s a red card challenge.”
