See why it’s called but I don’t really agree with it being called more. I think that it Should depend on if it takes the fouled player out of the play or not. I wouldn’t call what happened today stonewall, but I’ve certainly seen worse. I think if that’s being called more often there is going to be a lot more diving in the box.
He went studs up into the side of Rashford's leg. If he was ~3 inches to the left it would have been a straight red and easily could have been a career altering challenge. It's as clear a stonewall penalty as you'll ever find, regardless of where the ball was.
