How this is NOT a Red Card ? Luton's Henri Lansbury Brutal Kick On Swansea's Ryan Manning

Luton Town's Henri Lansbury somehow escaped with just a yellow card despite dispatching Swansea City's Ryan Manning with a savage kick while the ball was not even in play.  The two Championship sides played out a memorable 3-3 draw on Saturday, but Lansbury's attack also proved a heated talking point.  Not only did Manning's aggressor stay on the field, but the Swansea man also picked up a booking for his troubles!  What happened?  Luton were cruising 3-0 ahead when Lansbury and his right boot came to the fore.  The midfielder was keen to restart the action with a quick free kick, taking a big swing at the ball following a Swansea infraction.  Manning, however, found himself in the way, and received the full force of Lansbury's follow-through as he was sent flying.  Other Swansea players immediately confronted the perpetrator, but when tempers cooled he was only shown a yellow card instead of the expected red.  The bruised Manning was given an identical punishment for encroachment, having rolled the ball away a split-second before feeling the wrath of Lansbury's boot.  #footballindepth #lutontown #swanseacity #championship
