Tottenham Hotspur are not pleased that Jayden Bogle escaped a red card following his reckless challenge on Mathys Tel in the first half at Elland Road.While the home side emerged deserved winners in the end, the game could have been very different had a critical decision not gone their way in the first half.Bogle escaped any punishment despite catching Tel on the back of the ankle with his studs in the 34th minute as the Tottenham man dribbled away from him.While the Leeds right-back’s challenge was reviewed thoroughly by the VAR, referee John Brooks was not advised to rewatch the incident on the pitch-side monitor.Should Jason Bogle have seen red for this challenge? 🟥👀📺 Stream live on TNT Sports & HBO Max https://t.co/fRCRh6tXYB https://t.co/fuK42Okkcz— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 7, 2026Photo by George Wood/Getty ImagesTottenham to launch complaint to Pro Ref after Jayden Bogle escaped redThe decision proved to be a crucial turning point in the game, with Tottenham never recovering the lost momentum from that point and Tel being forced off with an injury.According to BBC Sport, Tottenham are set to launch a formal complaint about the decision of the VAR, Tony Harrington, not to intervene despite having several minutes to watch Bogle’s challenge.Spurs are of the opinion that the Leeds defender should have seen red for a dangerous challenge on the Frenchman.The North London club are expected to write to the refereeing body Pro Ref to complain about the decision and seek an explanation as to why it did not result in Bogle’s dismissal.However, De Zerbi refused to complain about the potential red card incident in his post-match interview.The Tottenham boss said: “The potential red card, I couldn’t say. We have full confidence in the referee and VAR. I cannot say nothing more. Tel has a bad injury on his ankle, but I don’t know how long [he will be out] yet.”De Zerbi faces one-match suspension as Spurs star points out VAR double standardWhile the Italian may not have shared his true feelings about the possible red card post-match, he was extremely animated during the game when VAR failed to intervene and furiously complained to the fourth official.De Zerbi was handed a yellow card for his complaints, which is his third booking of the season, and has thus incurred a one-match touchline ban.Meanwhile, Tottenham star Xavi Simons has compared his red card challenge against Liverpool to Bogle’s challenge on Tel, raising an issue about the lack of consistency.Xavi Simons on Snapchat: https://t.co/u0gkpUTiG4— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) November 7, 2026For what was a very similar foul by the Dutchman on Virgil van Dijk last season, the same VAR, Harrington, asked the referee Brooks to rewatch the challenge on the monitor, causing him to change his initial yellow card to a red."He’s absolutely nowhere near that football!"
