Gallagher has praised the performance of referee Mike Dean and claims he was right to only book Pogba, despite labelling the tackle from the Manchester United star "reckless".
“I think he goes to win the ball with the other foot. I think he’s taken a step to go over it.
“He does go over the ball and he catches him on the back of the thigh.

Man Utd news: Paul Pogba was only booked despite the tackle on Dele Alli and throwing the ball away (Image: GETTY)
“I think it’s reckless but think he genuinely goes to play the ball. I think Mike Dean got that right.
“I will also say for a 50-year-old guy, that was a magnificent refereeing performance in a fantastic match.
“And I would think today he’s got to be laying in bed until about 10 o’clock because he must have been tired the amount of work he did.”
Pogba threw the ball away after Dean had blown for a foul.
