Premier League eases red‑card rule on hair pulling in matches
The Premier League has instructed referees to reassess hair‑pulling incidents after three red cards were issued last season, with the new rule set to apply. This decision is seen as part of the league's effort to manage the game more fairly.
Referees will monitor hair‑pulling fouls more closely and adjust disciplinary actions accordingly. Clubs plan to issue additional warnings to players about adhering to discipline rules.
The new policy aims to reduce controversial incidents throughout the season.
