McEveley Should Have Been Sent Off - Lameiras

Last updated : 13 December 2015 By CNS Staff

Coventry City's Ruben Lameiras has said that Jay McEveley should have sent off for the tackle on him during the Sky Blues 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United.

McEveley's tackle was late, reckless and likely to cause injury and only earned him a caution from referee Iain Williamson whose handling of a number of challenges left a lot to be desired and is surely worthy of further investigation.

Speaking about this to Matt Joyce, Lameiras said: "I personally think he's got to be sent off for that. 

"I think the referee has to offer more protection there. He didn't go for the ball and he's lucky.
 
" I couldn't run at him in the second-half."
