<\/p>\nThe tackle has prompted mass debate<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wrexham and Chelsea, a proper cup tie under the North Wales lights, had it all. Comebacks, controversy and a red card, though not for The Blues this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
With the Red Dragons taking the lead, not once, but twice, they were then instantly nullified by Liam Rosenior’s resilient Blues on both occasions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
With the game inevitably heading to extra-time at 2-2 though, the tie instantly turned in its balance after a controversial red card decision from referee Peter Banks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
With Alejandro Garnacho darting down the wing at pace, he was met by a ‘reckless’ challenge from Wrexham’s George Dobson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
At first glance, Banks brandished the yellow, though after a signal from the VAR room, he was then advised to go to the monitor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Inevitably next, the card was upgraded from a yellow to a red. Fans though, do not agree with the decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
One supporter frustratedly responded to the tackle published on X: “Never a red. That\u2019s everything wrong with modern football. Why are we taking physicality out of the game, it\u2019s not basketball.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The legendary Wayne Rooney too disagreed with the decision, voicing his opinion on TNT Sports between full time and extra time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The tackle can be viewed below: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
With extra time looming on the 10-men, the disadvantage was naturally against the home side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Garnacho took advantage with a brilliantly taken finish, evading the offside flag, and made it 3-2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
