|||London - Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli couldn’t have saved Luke Shaw from breaking his leg but he could and should have punished PSV and their defender Hector Moreno for the terrible tackle which caused the horrific fracture.
Moreno showed no regard for his opponent’s safety when he flew in to the tackle as the United defender burst into the PSV penalty area.
Moreno’s leading leg might have touched the ball but the way he challenged, at pace and off the ground, it was clear he had no control over his actions.
Rizzoli knows the law and, while the tackle might have looked worse in slow-motion replays that the referee does not see, should detect and punish such tackles made with excessive force.
He is one of UEFA’s very best officials but he really missed a poor tackle here which also should have resulted in a penalty for United as well as the red card for Moreno.
The fact that the Mexican then scored the equaliser really did highlight what a costly mistake the referee had made.
