'I thought Jones handled it OK'

The red card was right in front of us. Straight away I was thinking credit to Morgan Gibbs-White - he has covered ground and stopped the counter-attack.

You see it again on the replay, and everything looks worse on a replay, the ankle [of Joao Pedro] collapses underneath him, but that is momentum.

Rob Jones takes his time - and he is still getting booed off the pitch for the way he has refereed the game. I thought he handled it OK, he took his time to make the decision.

We have come to accept this season that the referee's decision on the pitch is the final decision - and I don't mind that.
