In Manchester United’s 3-0 win against Leicester City on Sunday, the ÖFB team player hit his opponent Wout Faes with a stretched leg and open sole on the knee because he didn’t have good timing in the duel. The Belgian Faes was able to continue playing.
Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers was very upset afterwards because Sabitzer had not even seen the yellow card for the action and the video referee had not intervened either. It was “incredible,” said Rodgers, Sabitzer “pulled through” and went straight on the knee with a “straight leg.”
Former Premier League professional Graeme Souness accused Sabitzer of taking the risk of injuring his opponent. “He turns to the side, that’s a classic case when you get involved in bringing someone down,” said the Sky expert: “If it’s not a dangerous game, then what is it?”
