Watch Joe Ralls’ reckless tackle on Ilkay Gundogan – was he lucky to receive just a yellow card?

Ilkay Gundogan put in a Rolls Royce performance against Cardiff City, but he was lucky to escape without an injury following Joe Ralls’ challenge.

The incident came just moments after Gundogan’s sublime effort put City 3-0 up in a match the Premier League champions went on to win 5-0.

Man-of-the-match Gundogan got to the ball ahead of Ralls, who ended up catching the German just below the knee, though referee Michael Oliver opted to show the Cardiff midfielder just a yellow card.

It harked back to the FA Cup meeting in January when Pep Guardiola was left furious after Joe Bennett was cautioned for a high tackle on Leroy Sane.
