Manchester United's rash Argentine Marcos Rojo was lucky not to be sent to an early shower Sunday against Everton, the defender getting only a yellow card for a ludicrous, two-footed tackle on Idrissa Gueye.
The latter slid in and got to the ball first, while Rojo came flying in dangerously with both sets of studs showing.

Referee Michael Oliver only deemed the tackle worthy of a booking, however, ensuring that the Red Devils wouldn't be reduced to 10 men.
