Even though it doesn't look like much, when you are sprinting like Delph was and you get your ankle tapped like that from behind you go flying. I know because it happened to me playing hockey once and the guy who did it to me should have been put in the sin bin imo

but we only a got a free hit.

It was more clumsy from Shotton than anything, but that still means it was his fault.
Btw it was Clark not Herd Seabs who did the tackle that could have been a red.

The reason Villa got a free kick is that Clark was fouled just before he charged in.
