Holgate’s Dangerous Tackle Sparks Controversy: Onuoha and Reo-Coker Condemn Incident

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha and ex-West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker strongly criticized Mason Holgate’s tackle on Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma deeming it “outrageous” and “so dangerous.” Holgate a Sheffield United defender received a red card after his initial yellow was upgraded following a VAR review.

Onuoha expressed his dismay labeling the challenge a “disgrace” due to its dangerous nature. Reo-Coker questioned Holgate’s intent suggesting that the three games ban he received might be lenient considering the severity of the tackle.

Both pundits emphasized the potential consequences for Holgate’s teammates who would have to play with a numerical disadvantage after the early dismissal.
