Oddly, as soon as the game started on Sunday my eldest turned to me and said 'this is going to be a nightmare for Bennett'. He wasn't wrong, although I thought he was doing ok with Sterling until he lost him completely for his goal. I had a good view of the foul on Sane and was amazed by the viciousness and aggression of it when a simple trip or ankle tap would've done. People who are still claiming it was mistimed or that de Bruyne's completely accidental contact with Richards was just as bad have got some serious issues.
Indeed, as have those who reckon the tackle wasn't high. Bennett's studs were closer to Sane's knee than his feet! Had the ball been involved, Bennett would have been over the top of it, but apparently it can't be described as a high tackle because it was Sane's ankle that got injured. The lad's fortunate his foot wasn't firmly planted when Bennett came flying in or the injury would certainly have been a whole lot worse.
