What happened

DOGSO dismissal not given: Challenge by Dunk on Pedro. Panel: The panel supported the referee's call of no red card for a DOGSO offence. The play was wide, a long way from goal, with a covering defender in a central position - all mitigating against an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
