He’s looking the real deal; if he gets a ban we will miss him badly. Hopefully, the ref’s report will state that the incident was seen and play waved on, i.e. advantage played, as Asante was being held back. If that is the case, he will not be banned but where the FA is concerned, I wouldn’t trust that they will see it that way.

It did occur to me, though, that if Asante is banned, it would give an opportunity for our dear friend Zohore to make a comeback…………!!!!
