Ipswich's Issa Diop escaped a red card for a foul on Nottingham Forest's James McAtee - but was it the right call?

Issa Diop escaped what Oliver Glasner called "a clear red card" during Ipswich's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest - but the incident split opinion, so was it the right call or not?

With less than five minutes of the second half played when Diop slid in on Forest's James McAtee, a sending off could have transformed the outcome of the game.

Glasner was adamant Diop had denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity. But Diop himself told Sky Sports he was "quite confident" he would stay on the field as the officials and VAR came to their decision.

There was also split opinion among the Sky Sports pundits, too.

On co-commentary, Lee Hendrie reckoned Diop was "really lucky" and criticised the reasoning from the referee. Post-match, Ashley Young defended the decision.
