It’s not every day a footballer receives a red card for dribbling past an opponent…
But that’s exactly what happened to Josh Onomah while playing for England in the U20s World Cup quarter-finals.
England beat Mexico 1-0 to reach the semi-finals of the competition in South Korea. But the main talking point came midway through the second half.
Tottenham midfielder Onomah breezed past an opponent only to inadvertently tread on the Mexico player’s foot. Bizarrely the referee saw this as a card-worthy foul, showing Onomah a second yellow and sending him off.
You can decide for yourself whether Onomah was harshly treated by watching the video below (via @spurs_fanatical).

The ref is actually retarded lmao
Colossal penis referee
Absolute Joke of a decision, the referee hasn’t got a scooby doo, I’d definitely appeal that f**king numpty
Onomah is more skilful than I thought if he can dribble past an opponent whilst deliberately stamping on his foot!
Shoot the cunt obviously no fucking use for anything else the pleb, I fucking hate headline grabbing refs
The way the mexican goes into a tackle is the reason for his misery, not Onomah.
That refree needs to go to specsavers
