       Overall an ok performance. However I thought the caution for
       Buendia was harsh with little intent. My main concern was the
       challenge sorry elbow used by the Burnley player I think
       Flemming on Buendia. The ref had a good view. He saw him coming
       and I believe there was an element of a deliberate elbow.
       Particularly disappointing is the the ref didn’t even have a
       word over the challenge. For me this is the sort of challenge
       which must be recognised by on field or var to take the
       appropriate action. Once he sees it I’m sure he will be
       disappointed and I’ll be interested to hear the feedback.
       Unfortunately took the shine off a decent performance

       I didn’t see the whole game but did see that incident with the
       elbow on Buendia.
       Firstly, I hope that Emiliano Buendia is ok after getting some
       lengthy treatment for this incident. Wishing him a speedy
       recovery.
       Secondly, I couldn’t believe this wasn’t recognised by Kitchen
       on field and I was surprised that there was no VAR intervention.
       It’s a deliberate (and quite violent) act in my opinion. Yes he
       goes to shield the ball but he raises his arms and throws his
       elbow back with force.
       However, saying that we’ve seen similar incidents like this
       without being punished. Mings on Alex Scott and sort of
       Kulusevski on Caicedo spring to mind.
