Could Nunez's brace against Brentford have been ruled out? Ex-PL referee believes he should have been sent off

In the match against Brentford, Darwin Núñez managed to turn the game around, but before scoring his second goal, an incident involving the Uruguayan could have impacted the number of goals he scored in that match.

Details: Just before his second goal, Nunez made contact with the ankle of Brentford defender Nathan Collins. The Liverpool forward had already received a yellow card for removing his shirt during his first goal celebration, and the foul could have been a legitimate reason for a second yellow card and a possible red. However, referee Andy Madley overlooked the incident, which, according to his former colleague Mike Dean, was a mistake.

Quote: "I think this could have been a second yellow, he caught Collins late on the ankle. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was a second yellow. We talked before the game about how he just comes in and creates problems, gets involved in the game. I think sometimes he takes risks, but today, in my opinion, he got away with it," Dean said on Sky Sports.
