Wilfred Ndidi should have been shown a red card for foul on Cole Palmer, English football's refereeing body has admitted.
The Leicester City midfielder was only cautioned after his high tackle on Palmer caught the Chelsea star's achilles.
The incident was reviewed by VAR but the decision was taken to stick with Andrew Madley's on-field call.
However, PGMOL boss Howard Webb has admitted that Ndidi was fortunate to escape a dismissal.
'We've looked at this collectively, among the officials, talked about this, and we would prefer this to be dealt with a red card,' Webb sad.
