Rauða spjaldið fékk Perez fyrir að traðka á landa sínum, Pablo Fornals.
Þetta leit hræðilega út en samt voru skiptar skoðanir um atvikið í ljósi þess að Perez var hrint. „Mér fannst brotið á honum. Ayo sýnir hreinskilni; hann reynir að standa í fæturnar en missir svo jafnvægið. Þú sérð marga leikmenn detta og þá er ekkert vandamál."
„Hann reynir að standa í fæturnar, missir jafnvægið og svo reynir hann að ná í boltann. Þetta lítur ekki vel út í endursýningum en fyrst var þetta brot."
Gary Neville, sérfræðingur Sky Sports, var spurður út í tæklinguna í gær.
„Þegar þú horfir á þetta, þá er þetta algjörlega skelfilegt. Enginn vill sjá svona tæklingu," sagði Neville.
Hér að neðan má sjá viðbrögð við tæklingunni á samfélagsmiðlinum á Twitter. Þar var fólk ekki sammála. Hvað finnst þér?
He was off balance and can’t do anything about it

Clear red card for serious foul play, a dangerous tackle. Intention doesn't matter at all. It's still a red card whether he meant it or not

People who are saying this is a Red are the sort of fans who want a PEN for a handball on the half-way line

Not a red card.

Gets punished for where he plants his foot when trying to shield the ball.
No intention to hurt the player.
Perez stumbles, but there’s a clear movement to try and play the ball, which he gets totally wrong. Left foot over the ball and into the oncoming Fornals, it’s a challenge that endangers the safety of the opponent. Clear red, intent plays no part in any decision. https://t.co/xfDT5UIvj5

Well, what do you guys reckon about that red card? No intent in the challenge and he was stumbling, trying to keep control, but in the modern era of VAR almost inevitable. No intent required. #LCFC
