Right after Bellingham’s goal, Brahim Díaz goes in hard on Khephren Thuram, bringing him down with a clearly late challenge.

The Frenchman—clearly in pain—remains on the ground and the referee shows a yellow card to the former Milan player, but there’s a sense that the card might be the wrong decision. 

Brahim Díaz’s foot dangerously rises and hits Thuram squarely on the shin, risking a serious injury. Giampaolo Calvarese, Prime Video’s referee analyst, also judged Slavko Vincic’s decision to be incorrect.

La Gazzetta dello Sport is less certain, mentioning only a “risk of a harsher sanction” for the former Milan player.

The images clearly show that the referee had an unobstructed view of the action, and the fact that VAR did not intervene for a possible review leaves more than a few doubts.
