Cristian Romero somehow escaped a red card after stamping on Newcastle\u2019s Callum Wilson.<\/p>\n

Tottenham cruised to a 4-1 victory at home over the Magpies on Sunday night. Destiny Udogie opened the scoring for Spurs and Richarlison netted two either side of half-time.<\/p>\n

Son Heung-min made it four from the penalty spot in the 85th minute, while Joelinton\u2019s stoppage time goal was nothing more than a consolation. But with the north Londoners in control, defender Romero\u2019s moment of madness in the 80th minute almost caused his side unnecessary problems.<\/p>\n

Opposition striker Wilson was making his way up off the floor when Romero flew in wildly with his right boot. The central defender\u2019s ferocious challenge caught Wilson on the Achilles while his left leg hacked down the forward.<\/p>\n

Romero\u2019s awful tackle may have been met with a red card on another day, but the 25-year-old World Cup winner was spared his marching orders by VAR, which didn't deem it any more than a yellow card.<\/p>\n

And fans of both clubs took to social media immediately after to voice their shock at the needless challenge by Romero, who risked a suspension despite the game virtually being played at walking pace and his side all but assured a victory.<\/p>\n

One X user fumed: \u201cHow are Spurs fans on here defending Romero about getting red cards? The blokes off his f***ing head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another tweeted: \u201cRomero is a mad b***ard lmao. Spurs are in control and he just launches in randomly all the time. He cannot help himself,\u201d while a third added: \u201cThe clearest red card you\u2019ll ever see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others chimed in by tweeting: \u201cRomero is something else. 3-0 up and you go around scything players down like that. Should've seen red,\u201d and: \u201cAt what point do they start giving Romero longer bans than everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
