Calvert-Lewin avoids punishment for hair pull on Cucurella during FA Cup clash

Dominic Calvert-Lewin escaped punishment after tugging Marc Cucurella's hair during Leeds' FA Cup semi-final clash with Chelsea.

And fans are questioning why he didn't face consequences after Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was sent off for doing the same to the Leeds striker in April.

Calvert-Lewin tugged on Cucurella's hair in the first half, with the Spaniard falling dramatically.

Play was stopped as the footage was inspected in a VAR check but the Englishman was spared any reprimand.

'Martinez got sent off for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's bobble. Dominic Calvert-Lewin gets away with pulling Cucurella's hair. Please make it make sense,' said one on X.

'Red card for Martinez, not even a yellow for Calvert-Lewin. Do you mind giving us explanations, PGMOL?' asked another.

'So Calvert Lewin can now also get away with pulling hair after getting someone else sent off for pretending his was pulled,' one said.

'Calvert-Lewin not sent off for a 'hair pull', double standards in action once again,' another wrote.

But one viewer hit back: 'There’s no comparison between the two cases VAR quickly confirmed Calvert-Lewin never touched him.'
