This is what Rooney said: "It is a red card. We have seen it before when players have gone through, and the whistle has gone, and it is a red card.

"It is a very dangerous play. I know he wins the ball, but the follow-through, he hits him in the temple. That is the worst place to be hit.

"He [Oluwaseyi] could get knocked out. He might come back in a week's time and have delayed concussion. For me, that is a clear red card.

"I don't think it is the first time we [himself and Darren Cann] have disagreed.

"When you see players win the ball, it is with reasonable force. They follow-through and then they go and get a red card, so it is the same, but with his hands. It is easier to move your hands back than it is with your leg."

Former France forward Olivier Giroud, another member of the BBC team, was seeing both sides. He said: "As a striker, I would have been frustrated to not get a penalty on that one.

"On the other hand, I understand what Darren Cann says. You hit the ball first and it is hard for him to get his hands off the striker's head."

So now it is your turn to act as the referee and take part in a vote. Should it have been a red card or not? Have your say.
