<\/p>\nGary Neville has branded Cristian Romero as ‘absolutely mad’ before stating that the Tottenham defender should have been sent off for a reckless tackle on Callum Wilson during their 4-1 win against Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Romero wiped out the England striker catching him on the ankle in what was a dangerous tackle that earned him a yellow card in the second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Neville believed he should have been given a greater sanction for the foul, which would have been his second red card of the season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He\u2019s mad him,’ Neville said to Sky Sports. ‘Honestly. Absolutely mad. Honestly, I think it\u2019s a red card at first look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He\u2019s [referee] is thinking about it, he may give him a yellow but he\u2019s crazy Romero. He always has to tackle. Jockying. And slowing himself down doesn\u2019t come into his head.’<\/p>\n
After taking a look at the replay, Neville said: ‘No that\u2019s a red. Again I\u2019ve got very little sympathy for him. He does it on the floor and he\u2019s defenceless. He\u2019s just gone straight over the ball onto his ankle.<\/p>\n
‘He\u2019s got away with it this time. But Spurs need to do something about it. You don\u2019t want to take his aggression away as it\u2019s the best part of his game. He has to control it a lot better than he does it happens so often.’<\/p>\n
On it being his fourth red card of the calender year, Neville said: ‘It\u2019s not a fluke.’<\/p>\n
