"In the early stages of the second half, with Bournemouth leading 2-0, Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr went through on goal before being brought down by Marco Senesi. The defender saw yellow for the challenge, with VAR confirming this after a check. However, one ex-referee believes that the Argentine was rather fortunate not to be given his marching orders by on-field official Jarred Gillett."
"When the tackle happens, Sarr has no covering defenders to stop his progress towards the penalty area. The only question for the match officials to consider is if the ball is going away from goal. The ball goes towards the penalty area and not to the touchline Sarr could easily get to the ball and move inside the penalty area and be one on one with the goalkeeper."
Crystal Palace and Bournemouth drew 3-3 at Selhurst Park after a dramatic comeback. Bournemouth led 2-0 early in the second half when Ismaila Sarr was brought down by Marco Senesi, who received a yellow card that VAR confirmed. Former referee Mark Clattenburg argued Senesi should have been sent off, saying Sarr had no covering defenders and the ball was played toward the penalty area, allowing a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Crystal Palace recovered as Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a hat-trick. Mateta missed a near-certain chance in the ninth minute of stoppage time. Palace will now turn attention to UEFA Conference League fixtures.
