Image for Leeds: Fans react to Lacazette video

A lot of Leeds United fans are furious at footage from their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal that shows Alexandre Lacazette kick Gaetano Berardi off the ball.

Was Lacazette lucky to be not sent off?

Yes, clear kick out at Berardi

No, but should have received a yellow card

The incident was looked at by VAR, but no punishment was handed to the Arsenal striker, and this infuriated many Leeds supporters who could not believe that the Frenchman was not sent off.

What do we think?

This was an act of petulance from Lacazette, and it should have ended in a red card for the Gunners man.

Heung-min Son was sent off for exactly the same only a few weeks ago, so why wasn’t Lacazette also sent off?

Berardi did not make the most of the kick, which may have saved Lacazette, but VAR should have punished the former Lyon man.

Anthony Taylor was also right behind the incident but failed to show the red card.

Leeds played well against Arsenal, and they can feel hard done by that Lacazette was not sent off at a pivotal moment in the game.
