However, Jones decided against a red card for violent conduct and instead issued a yellow card for reckless action.
And the Premier League have since released a statement on the incident, saying: “VAR recommended an on-field review for a possible red card to Brooks for violent conduct.
“Upon review, the referee deemed that the challenge on Cucurella was a reckless action and not violent conduct – and issued a yellow card to Brooks.”
