Charlton boss fumes at ‘disgraceful’ tackle by Wrexham player: ‘It should be a red card”

Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has slammed the cynical foul made by Wrexham’s Seb Revan on Tyreece Campbell in today’s 2-2 draw at The Valley.

The Welsh club’s substitute was booked by referee Alan Dale.

Revan had no chance of catching up with Campbell as he powered towards Wrexham’s final third – so opted to bring him down with absolutely no intent to play the ball.

“The tackle on TC was a disgrace,” said Jones. “We talk about rules – I’d rather get punched in the face then someone wipe me clean out. That’s a young boy, 20 years of age, running full pelt and someone can come from behind and boot him – that provides proper injuries.

“That is a red card, for me.

“We can talk about the penalty (Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson was unhappy at the spot-kick which was converted by Matty Godden) but I genuinely haven’t looked at it – I’m not doing a clever thing [of just saying that].

“That was a disgraceful challenge. That should be ruled out because it can break legs, break ankles and change people’s lives. I don’t like that.”
