How the hell isn't that a red on eom?

Charlton fans on the socials are claiming simulation. I slowed it down and if you watch it frame by frame you will see Eom's foot bending unnaturally in mid air as Gillesphey's boot makes contact. It's a red all day long but the referee bottled it which set the tone for the entire game.

First time I've seen the incident. Having watched the replays on the extended highlights, I do think Eom was looking for contact and planned to go to ground. His touch was awful and he may not have got to the ball anyway.

Even so, the referee definitely bottled it. That's either a free kick and red card or a yellow for Eom for simulation.
