Hwang Hee-chan escaped a red card during the second half of Arsenal's clash against Wolves on Saturday night. The 29-year-old striker was booked for diving into a tackle on Myles Lewis-Skelly, but the manner of the challenge prompted a review at Stockley Park.
After watching back the incident, John Brooks and his assistant, Dan Robathan, agreed with the on-field decision of a yellow card. They described the foul by Hwang as 'reckless' and claimed that he tried to pull out of collision.
The Premier League Match Centre provided clarification on the decision on X, formerly known as Twitter. The post read: "The referee’s call of yellow card was checked and confirmed by VAR – with Hwang deemed to be pulling out of the challenge on Lewis-Skelly and the contact on the foot deemed to be a reckless foul."
