Former referee turned BT Sport pundit Peter Walton said: “I thought it was foul and it should have been looked at again for a penalty kick.”
Pickford spilled the ball, and as he attempted to clear he connected with the England centre-back with a flailing leg.

The England pair clashed after the incident.
And despite calls for a United penalty, nothing was given and supporters were quick to slam Pickford and the officials on Twitter.
Kieran wrote: “It’s genuinely unbelievable that Pickford keeps getting away with all of this.”
Another added: “Good to see England internationals being kept in their ‘that’s not a foul’ bubble. It’s a foul and Maguire makes most of it.”
Jamie chipped in with: “Punters saying Pickford was pushed are having a laugh.
“He is an awful keeper who misjudged a cross and then panicked, fouling Maguire.”
And Ago quipped: “Just because Maguire pushed Pickford beforehand doesn’t mean he can karate kick him in the gut.
“This is the VVD incident all over again.”
