Premier League: Brian Brobbey should have been sent off in Sunderland v Tottenham game
The panel voted 3-2 that referee Rob Jones missed a second yellow for Brobbey after a push that led to Romero's season-ending injury.
- On Friday, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel ruled that Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey should have been sent off during the April 12 win over Tottenham Hotspur, determining referee Rob Jones made a mistake by not issuing a second yellow card.
- In the 63rd minute, Brobbey nudged Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, causing him to collide with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky; the collision resulted in a season-ending knee injury for Romero while he remained on the pitch despite holding a yellow card.
- The KMI panel voted 3-2 that Jones made a mistake, with the majority stating the push was an "unnecessarily reckless action." Tottenham would have played the final 30 minutes against 10 men if the referee had dismissed Brobbey.
- Spurs, currently 18th and winless in 15 league matches, face a relegation threat following the loss to Sunderland as Romero remains a doubt for this year's World Cup ahead of Saturday's match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
- Referee Jones has made 10 mistakes in 42 cases, the joint-most errors on second bookings over two seasons. The Premier League will allow video assistant referees to review red cards from two yellows starting next season, though not missed cautions.
