Dominic Calvert-Lewin escaped any disciplinary action after pulling Marc Cucurella's hair during the FA Cup semi-final between Leeds and Chelsea, prompting widespread criticism over officiating inconsistency.
Incident and VAR Check
In the first half, Calvert-Lewin tugged on Cucurella's hair, causing the Spanish defender to fall dramatically. Play was halted while the incident was reviewed via VAR, but the Everton striker received no reprimand.
Fans React on Social Media
Fans were quick to point out the contrast with an earlier incident involving Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez, who was sent off for a similar hair-pull on Calvert-Lewin in April. One user on X wrote: "Martinez got sent off for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's bobble. Dominic Calvert-Lewin gets away with pulling Cucurella's hair. Please make it make sense." Another added: "Red card for Martinez, not even a yellow for Calvert-Lewin. Do you mind giving us explanations, PGMOL?"
