Jamie Redknapp has stated he can see why Mikel Arteta was aggrieved after Jamie Vardy's potential red card against Arsenal was not punished by the officials.
The Gunners were reduced to ten men in the second period when Eddie Nketiah was dismissed for a high challenge on Leicester City defender James Justin shortly his introduction.
However, after the match, Arteta expressed his frustration that Vardy was not given his marching orders in the first period when he caught Shkodran Mustafi in the head with his boot, and Redknapp understands that view.
“This is only one where Jamie Vardy can tell us if he’s meant to do him or not. It looks really nasty," he told Sky Sports.
"They’ve obviously looked at it and thought that he hasn’t meant to do it. When you play football, you see legs and you see bodies. I don’t think I’ve ever played with a player that really wants to kick someone in the face.
"When you’re on the pitch, that doesn’t really enter your mind. I’d like to think he doesn’t mean it.
"But I can see what Mikel Arteta is saying because it looks really dangerous and he’s caught him in the face with his studs.”
