Son in tears on the pitch, just snapped Andre Gomes leg, and is clearly shaken by what he has done
Son didn't snap his leg at all from what i saw.
Yes Son fouled him but out here on BeIn sports they showed replays and it looked like Gomes' leg got caught in the turf and then the damage was done by Aurier sliding into him.
The ref has reacted to the injury. Late challenge had the yellow out and then saw it and gave him a red. VAR not looked at it - imagine it wouldn't have for down well if they had!

Yeah agreed. Based on what i saw the red card for Son is harsh.
Where is VAR to overrule it? It's fairly standard foul and Son was rightly given a yellow by the ref but then he saw Gomes' foot and changed it to a red. You surely can't change a decision based on the extent of an unfortunate injury.
His foot is facing the wrong way so he has clearly broken his leg.
So yeah, no need to show it at all. No idea why anyone would want to see it after knowing it's bad enough to not do a reply of.
It was more that sky didn't even say what the injury was - the pictures and confirmation came from twitter. Just found it strange as I'm pretty sure when i've seen matches with horrific injuries before they at least say what the injury was.
Anyway, best of recoveries to him. Going to be hard to come back from that.

You could see what the injury was, he was on the floor with his foot bent out of place.
Think Sky probably wait to see how bad an injury is before deciding to show it.
Was watching the Palace game and there was a clash of heads between a Leicester player and two Palace players. All three players on the deck, physios on, they all got up in the end.
A Premier League statement read: "The red card for Son was for endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge."
This is bollocks & dangerous ground in my opinion. Som"s challenge did not cause the injury, the way the player landed caused the injury. The premier league are making up rules as they go along to justify bad decisions. I feel really bad for the guy as it's a horrible injury, but it wasn't Son's fault. The decision was wrong & the reasons given for it are rubbish

MOTD2 last night also thought the red card was the wrong decision too. Otherwise ANY foul which leads to a bad injury then becomes a red card offence, even it wasn't the foul itself which directly caused it
You could tell by the reactions of the players too, none of them were surrounding Son which usually happens when someone does a bad tackle

What a joke decision, given based on the injury with no logic.
Disappointing Liverpool sneak their way out again, definitely written this season. Hopefully City bash them this weekend!

Completely agree. Absolute nonsense statement.
It was a fairly standard foul, no worse than you'll see at most grounds on any weekend of the season.
Replays and images clearly show the injury was caused by a) his foot getting caught in the turf and b) Aurier sliding into him.
Wait until you see the VAR controversy at WHL on MOTD, Sheffield United were robbed by VAR. They were the better team by a country mile. Poch is on borrowed time.

Already seen it, just embarrassing; VAR is just taking the piss now and doesnt seem to care
I doubt he'd leave Leicester so soon but Arsenal, Spurs and Man U could all be looking for new managers soon enough and they should all have Rodgers on their shortlists.
He's made a profit in the transfer market and made Leicester a much better side.

Not for the feint hearted

Horrific injury though and hope he recovers.

Once they were ok Sky showed the incident.

They are sooooo good

They're going to be no different to Man Utd are now
On another note its quite remarkable that Sheffield United are currently 5th
