I've not seen the challange and don't particularly want too.
Although sky saying it wasn't a 'horror tackle'. I'm guessing maybe a block? He was saying he got the ball.
I know it doesn't help Elliott

They were both chasing a ball. Struijk kind of slid to reach it, which actually seemed OK, and he got the ball. Possibly came through Elliot a bit, and their legs seemed to get tangled as they slid along a bit, with Struijk's weight on Elliot.I've not seen the challange and don't particularly want too.

A bit like Son for spuds when Gomez had his leg broke. It wasn't a bad challange as such.
Just the result of it. I think the sending off is fair enough.

I understand the referee is allowed to consider the severity of the injury when issuing the punishment.
Example, Gaston's injury vs Brighton.

Horrible, hope he has a speedy recovery.

He was very unlucky, Henderson was getting his final orders and was just about to come on for Elliott. Let's hope the lad makes a speedy recovery.

Awful injury but very unfortunate and not a red card.

Looks very much like broken tib and fib at the ankle. His foot is 90 degrees out of kilter. Many moons ago I did this and my left leg is now an inch shorter than my right. I was a lot older than young Harvey here but I was a full six months in plaster and I lost so much muscle off the leg. Of course I was just stuck together again by the Memorial in Darlo and had no rehab other than just leave your crutches over there.
Doesn't look like a red card to me just an unfortunate accident really.

Wish him a speedy recovery.
I recall Son Heung-Min being sent off for the injury to Gomes for Everton. I think it was rescinded.
I don't think Stephens was sent off for the injury he caused. He was sent off for going in high with his studs up. His defence seemed to depend on the ref believing that he was in full control of his actions AND he didn't mean it. That said, I'd guess its hard for a ref not to be influenced by a conspicuous injury.

What about a tackle that leaves a player with a huge gash on his face from a defender's studs? I wouldn't call Struijk as being dangerous just unlucky with the way they tackle.

You are missing my point. Right there and then the ref is automatically going to assume it was a dangerous/illegal tackle and send the lad off. The lad who did Fry in definitely should have been sent off.

Poor lad but it looked to me as if no foul had been committed, haven't seen a replay though. The Leeds lad didn't go in particularly hard and he won the ball too.
An unfortunate accident, the red may well be rescinded.

Whether we like it or not, the law says that:
Under the law it's irrelevant whether it was accidental, unintentional or unfortunate - and it was all of these. If the opponent's safety was endangered (and it clearly was) then it's a red card.
