Thomas Tuchel makes strong points on Folarin Balogun’s reprieve. “To be clear it was not a red card. VAR got involved. The decision is made. Who overturns this decision and when and on what grounds? It’s strange for me. We want consistency. I think it is not a yellow card, Declan Rice. Does France get the yellow card back for (Michael) Olise which was not a yellow card. Where does this start and where does this end? Do we appeal (Jarell Quansah red)?” Should Harry Kane ask President Trump? “Maybe!” Tuchel smiled.
