The Ref Watch panel have sparked debate over whether Cole Palmer's dismissal during Chelsea's clash with Tottenham Hotspur was the correct call, after a pair of contentious moments involving the Chelsea midfielder drew scrutiny from pundits.

Opinions on the panel were split. Some argued that Palmer knew precisely what he was doing when the incidents occurred, suggesting intent behind the actions that warranted a red card. Others were less convinced, raising questions about the consistency of the referee's decisions across both flashpoints.

The sending off adds to a series of controversial refereeing moments in the Premier League this season, with the debate around Palmer centering on whether each individual incident, viewed in isolation or together, justified the ultimate punishment of an early exit from the pitch.
