Jamie Redknapp commented that Jorginho was “fortunate” not to make significant contact with Brighton & Hove Albion defender Joel Veltman after the Arsenal midfielder seemed to “lash out” with a “leg swipe” toward his opponent.

 

The incident occurred just outside the penalty box as Joao Pedro prepared to take a penalty for Brighton’s equalizer during Saturday’s 1-1 draw. While it went unnoticed during the live broadcast, it was later analyzed post-match.

 

As Jorginho positioned himself to clear the ball in case David Raya saved the penalty, Veltman tried to block his movement. Jorginho appeared to respond with an aggressive “backward kick” toward Veltman, his studs raised. Although no significant contact was made, Veltman fell, and any connection might have caught the attention of VAR, potentially leading to serious repercussions.

 

Discussing the incident on Sky Sports after the match, Redknapp said: “Jorginho was quite fortunate here because if he makes contact, he could have been in real trouble and possibly sent off.” Fellow analyst Steve Sidwell added: “You can see it’s a bit of a lash out, and with more contact…”

 

Another clip highlighted Declan Rice attempting gamesmanship by shouting at Pedro before the penalty, though it didn’t affect the result.

 

Jorginho, captaining the side, was making his first Premier League start in nearly a month. The Euro 2020 champion, who extended his contract by a year last summer, has featured in only six league matches thi

s season.
