Former Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton agreed with Guardiola and Silva and said Kavanagh’s verdict looked like a “sheer guess”.”I think the game has gone,” added Sutton. “Is Thiaw really going to stop that?

Well, I really do think that Sir Keir Starmer ought to apply to do the knowledge. I’m a great admirer of the London taxi driver. I use their service very regularly and I think they are, as Disraeli said, the Gondoliers of London. But the thing they’re brilliant at is U-turns. It’s said they can turn on a sixpence, and Sir Keir Starmer does the same.
