Hungary boss wanted West Brom's Isaac Price sent off for causing serious injury in Northern Ireland draw

West Bromwich Albion star Isaac Price was central to Northern Ireland controversy against Hungary.

The Green and White Army featured in their second outing of the international break on Monday.

The first came away to Georgia as a last-gasp Shea Charles made all the difference.

They returned to Windsor Park with the hope of making it six points from six in the Nations League.

Michael O'Neill's side failed to do that in a 0-0 draw, but things could have actually been worse for the hosts.

That would have been the case if Price had been sent off as he was central to red card shouts from Hungary, but did he deserve it?

What did Isaac Price do to cause a stir vs Hungary?

The Baggies midfielder has looked to be back to his best in the Championship this season.

The Hawthorns faithful have been impressed by his performances in a new, wider role under James Morrison.

He has returned to a more recognised position on the international stage as one of two number 10s behind a central striker.

That allows him to push further forward and press opposition defences.

Price did exactly that against Hungary as he saw an opportunity with 31 minutes on the clock to win possession from Bendeguz Bolla.

The Northern Irishman slid in and narrowly missed out on the ball as the away side's defender cleared his lines.

In the aftermath, the Baggies man's trailing leg caught Bolla, leading to the Hungarian's ankle bending into a very uncomfortable position.

It was by no means intentional, simply unfortunate, but that isn't how Hungary boss Marco Rossi sees things.

The reason Hungary manager Marco Rossi wanted Price to be sent off

Watching as a neutral, it can't really be argued that there is any malice behind the 23-year-old's challenge.

He's slid in to try and make a block and his foot has landed on his opponent in an awkward way.

It isn't studs up, it is the side of his foot that makes the contact.

With Bolla forced off injured, it certainly makes the challenge look worse and has raised frustration from Rossi.

He believes that the rules of the game dictate that Price should have been shown a red card.

Speaking to Hungarian outlet 24, he said: "We couldn't avoid another injury, I'm not sure what happened, we'll have to look back. There are international rules, and if someone steps on their opponent's foot, they get sent off."

That feeling was also echoed by midfielder Anras Schafer who gave his opinion.

"I don't want to judge, but there was no red card in the first half."

It is clear that both wanted to see the West Brom man given his marching orders for the challenge.

Price didn't walk, which feels like the right decision in the end.
