Tottenham Hotspur have formally complained about referee Jarred Gillett not sending off Leeds United full-back Jayden Bogle for a challenge that injured Mathys Tel

Dermot Gallagher has agreed with Mike Dean that Jayden Bogle should have been sent off for the challenge that Tottenham Hotspur have formally complained to Pro Ref about.

Leeds United's full-back caught Mathys Tel on the back of his Achilles. The tackle forced Roberto De Zerbi to make a first-half substitution, as the winger was unable to continue.

However, the referee, Jarred Gillett, did not even issue a yellow card. Video assistant referee Tony Harrington, then confirmed the on-field decision of no red card, citing a lack of speed as Bogle stepped into the challenge, which he described as reckless.

Speaking on Sky Sports News during Ref Watch on Monday morning, Gallagher said: "I think it is a red card; he is extremely lucky. He catches him across the Achilles (tendon), high; we have the directive 'above the ankle, or Achilles,' and that falls under that line.

"We saw it with Ryan Sessegnon a few weeks ago with a similar tackle and (Jean-Philippe) Mateta last week."

Reacting live on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday, Dean's response was: "It is 100% a red; he has caught him right down the back of the Achilles. It is not a good tackle at all."

Speaking on Ref Watch alongside Gallagher, Jay Bothroyd showed sympathy after believing Bogle's challenge was accidental rather than deliberate. He said: "I do not want to see red cards for those kinds of challenges.

"They are accidental; they are trying to put their foot somewhere, and players are tricky. They have moved, then shifted the ball, and players have to try and put their foot down and push off.

"Here he has put his foot down, and it has landed on Tel's Achilles. But going by the consistency of the law, they have to give that as a red card."

Tim Sherwood was also in agreement. He said: "I would not have been surprised if he had been given a red card."

Former assistant referee Darren Cann believes that Bogle was fortunate not to be sent off, too, telling BBC Sport: "Bogle's challenge meets the criteria for serious foul play as he endangers the safety of an opponent. He can consider himself lucky to still be on the pitch."

Spurs are also in full agreement that Bogle should have been sent off. The club have written to Pro Ref for an explanation about why a red card was not issued.
