Sky commentators saying it was just unlucky and not a bad challenge.
Don't think I agree. Yes, it went really quickly but he threw himself with both legs into Raylor as opposed to into the ball or in front of it to block it.
Edit: Ok, not both feet.
Perch has done surprisingly well this season when he's been called upon. Suppose this is Pardew rewarding him in light of Benny's poor form.
Still think it's not a good decision though.
