I think it was McCoist who said it after it happened but it's so true how much leeway, for lack of a better word, keepers get in their boxes. Robertson was going straight up and just got smashed thus resulting in this injury and it's deemed fair far more times than it is not.
There was outrage when the San Marino player kneed Hojlund in the back, but the Spain keeper does the same thing to Robertson and it's absolutely fine because it was the keeper.
Easier to be mad at a plumber or a banker than at Unai Simón...
