The outcome of the Shakespearean modern-day classic, where legacy was reborn, continues to resonate in the mind of Morning Star boxing writer JOHN WIGHT
BRENTFORD captain Christian Norgaard has had the red card he was shown during Saturday’s goalless draw with Everton overturned following an appeal.
The 30-year-old was dismissed in the 41st minute by referee Chris Kavanagh who was summoned to the VAR monitor to review a challenge on goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Norgaard was deemed to have committed serious foul play when, in attempting to reach a header across goal from Ethan Pinnock, his studs connected with Pickford’s knee.
