England lucky to avoid Jordan Pickford red card and late penalty in drab Ghana draw (opens original article in a new tab)

TL;DR

England avoided a red card and penalty in a goalless draw against Ghana, with two controversial decisions going in their favor.

  • England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford avoided a red card after a collision with Ghana's Prince Kwabena Adu
  • Referee Saíd Martínez awarded a free-kick to England despite a challenge that appeared to be a foul
  • Ezri Konsa's lunging challenge on Adu was not given a penalty, though it should have been referred to VAR
  • England drew 0-0 with Ghana in a World Cup Group L match, failing to secure a knockout spot yet
