What’s there to dislike about Azpilicueta?

I don’t doubt he is a decent bloke and much accomplished. He just plays for a rival team. Anyway, hopefully no long term issues following yesterday’s incident.

Edit, from FA Rule 12

Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themself) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury.

A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that it is not dangerous to an opponent.

so why was it not a red card, yesterday??

Section 2 says:-

"
2. Indirect Free Kick

An indirect free kick is awarded if a player:
- plays in a dangerous manner
