And on 7 May 2011, in the match between Blackpool and Tottenham Hotspur this similar incident happened:
In both incidents, the referees missed the serious foul plays. The difference being that in 2020, there is VAR to help with incidents that are "clearly and obviously" missed by the referee. And yet in 2020 there are still people who are attempting to downplay these incidents by appealing to the FA to reduce the standard 3-match ban for serious foul play.
