Everton v Sunderland - John Brooks

I didn't watch the game but it looks like Brooks didn't book Le
Fee for covering his head with a Spiderman mask as part of his
goal celebration. This must be a factual error, right? I'm
pretty sure covering your head with any item, whether it is a
mask or the shirt, should result in an automatic yellow

I don’t believe covering your face is a yellow card.
Only removal of the shirt, excessive (going into the stands
usually) and provocative celebrations result in a booking.

If what has been said is true, it is 100% wrong in law to not
caution
A player must be cautioned, even if the goal is disallowed, for:
climbing onto a perimeter fence and/or approaching the
spectators in a manner which causes safety and/or security
issues
acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way
covering the head or face with a mask or other similar item
removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt

Apart from that he had a pretty good game, a few decision I
would have liked given and I’m sure there are some Everton fans
would feel the same
