Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic could be in line to be penalized after he appeared to elbow Manuel Lanzini during his team’s 3-0 victory over West Ham on Saturday.
Mitrovic, who scored during the game, appeared to elbow Lanzini late on and referee Neil Swarbrick missed the incident.
Considering that Mitrovic’s actions were very reckless, there is a strong chance that he could be penalized.
Punidit Phil Neville commented on the incident saying, “He’s in big trouble. It’s a red card. It’s nasty, violent, and I can’t understand it. At 2-0 up, (Newcastle were) cruising in the game.”
