The football world have given their thoughts on Phil Jagielka’s lunge on Diogo Jota at the weekend.
Many defended the challenge…
The most utter rubbish decision in the history of football .. Jagielka’s recovery was so good .. clearly got the ball first in the ensuing tackle .. outrageous refereeing .. Wolves gifted the free-kick and the goal .. scandalous ..

Just seen the Jagielka sending off. That is a great tackle and I’m glad I’m not playing anymore if that is a red card. I would be suspended every week!!!

Absolutely NEVER a red card that for Jagielka. Bad touch, great tackle. #WOLEVE

I’m sorry but jagielka… how is that a red card? If that’s a red then I expect to see plenty every week! #EMBARRASSING

Naaaaaaa what has football become if that’s a red card!!! Jagielka with a great tackle! People saying he was endangering his opponent but I suppose in any tackle you’re endangering them no? Football is a shambles!

The game has gone. Never a sending off!! Ball followed the tackle and Jags is nowhere near over the ball… How else can you tackle?!?!? #everton #premierleague #evevwol #bbcsport #efctv

Others thought the referee made the right decision…
I can’t believe people are even debating the Jagielka tackle on Jota. He could have broken his leg. There’s literally no argument to have. It’s a red card. ?

Has to be a red there for Jagielka. Ball got just inches out of his reach, then decided to reach a little too far. Can’t go into Jota like that so close to goal and expect only a yellow.

Its a red card if you slide in like Jagielka, no control, studs up, right on his ankles, wasent even along the ground…
