The full picture
Ipswich's Issa Diop escaped a red card during their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, despite Ipswich manager Oliver Glasner calling it "a clear red card". The incident involved Diop sliding in on Forest's James McAtee, according to Sky Sports.
Referee Thomas Bramall initially didn't blow his whistle but was advised by VAR to review the incident. He ultimately decided on a direct free-kick and a yellow card, citing that McAtee's touch before being fouled changed the situation, as reported by Sky Sports.
The decision was subjective and split opinion among Sky Sports pundits, with some like Lee Hendrie criticizing the reasoning and others like Ashley Young defending it, highlighting the complexity of the call, as seen on Sky Sports.

Source context
Issa Diop escaped what Oliver Glasner called "a clear red card" during Ipswich's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest - but the incident split opinion, so was it the right call or not? With less than five minutes of the second half played when Diop slid in on Forest's James McAtee, a sending off could have transformed the outcome of the game. Glasner was adamant Diop had denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity. But Diop himself told Sky Sports he was "quite confident" he would stay on the field as the officials and VAR came to their decision.
