They media reaction to this is very unsurprising
Very few of them get the rules of the game.
Radio Clyde gave a bitter blue air time last night saying that holts challenge was a good challenge, BFDJ agreed with him FFS.
the don't even know the rules, it doesn't matter if you touch the ball, if you make contact with the player
"Foul
A foul is when a player attempts to tackle his opponent who is in possession of the ball but does not win the ball. By tackling an opponent this way it may mean that the player may lose the advantage they had.
Certain tackles are considered fouls even if the ball is won. These include:-
Tackle from behind – when a player slides the opponent from behind either through him or round his legs." (nicked shamelessly from the FA guidance to refs)
this covers that tackle perfectly and the Hill tackle

So shocking that our media haven't a clue or are simply bias, will let you make your mind up about that
