Ashley Young, a renowned player for Everton, stated that Sam Morsy was fortunate to escape a red card for Ipswich during their 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on September 29.

The Toffees defender claims Kieran McKenna was concerned when he saw the Egyptian close in on Jhon Duran when he was a guest in the Sky Sports studio.

Young has already been sent off against Brighton on the first day of the Premier League this season, so he is no stranger to the red card. In an interesting altercation, Young responded to a flashpoint from Portman Road while speaking live on Sky Sports Main Event [29 September, 16:02]. He remarked, “I believe Kieran McKenna was quite concerned on the sidelines.”

“When he starts that challenge, you would think, ‘You’ve already been booked, take your time,’ but Kieran found it disturbing.

“They were fortunate that he was able to remain on the pitch and that the referee did not ultimately send him off.”

Ashley Young reacts to controversy away from Everton

After an incredible week, it feels as though the limelight has finally left Goodison Park.

The season began with that first victory against Crystal Palace, which came about after it was ultimately announced [The Guardian] that The Friedkin Group had consented to a takeover that could be finalised in eight weeks. However, Young was on Sky Sports to discuss topics unrelated to Everton, and he was probably correct about this particular instance.
