Huddersfield player makes shocking challenge on opponent's knee and ref says no foul!
Normally, going in with your studs showing at knee height is a definite red card whether you catch the opponent or not. However, in the Championship match between Huddersfield and Stoke City, an incident of this kind saw the referee not even give a foul.
Josh Koroma was sprinting down the flank in search of a loose ball which Daniel Sinani was also heading towards. Koroma lifted his foot up and the opponent had his right foot planted on the ground to try and touch the ball.
It ended up with Koroma going in with his studs on Sinani's knee. The number 24 was down in pain, but he ended up recovering once the referee came closer to the scene.
Although many thought the referee was going to show a red card, he did not even give a yellow. That left the Stoke City players, coaching staff and fans stunned. In the end, the game ended 1-1 and the first of them, scored by the home team, was scored by Koroma.
