After reviewing the incident at half-time, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp said: “At least it shows they care.”
Gary Neville added: "I think he did [have a point], Son did that old trick, 'I couldn't react', but he certainly could have. Urgency, tempo, I wouldn't say they look disinterested, but certaintly lethargic, they've got to set it up."
The pair could be seen warmly embracing each other in the tunnel ahead of the restart, apparently ending any anomosity between the pair.
