England down to ten as Quansah sees red for 'nasty' challenge

England were reduced to ten men after Jarrel Quansah was shown a red card following a VAR review for what was described as a 'nasty' challenge on Mexico's Jesus Gallardo. The incident, which occurred during the international friendly, was reviewed by the video assistant referee, who recommended that referee be sent to the monitor. After a brief check, the official brandished a red card, leaving England to play the remainder of the match with a numerical disadvantage. Quansah's tackle on Gallardo was later labelled 'nasty' by commentators, reflecting the severity of the challenge. The sending-off will likely rule Quansah out of selection for future matches, as England's head coach considers his defensive options. The match continued with England forced to adapt their tactics without the Liverpool defender.
