If Eliot's role was reversed that would be a yellow. A defender giving a striker who got on the otherside of them open on goal a little tug and the striker going down is a yellow 99% of the time, sometimes its even a red if its just the goal keeper left to beat. Its impossible to judge as a ref whether a shirt pull is enough to make a player go down, you could start applying this everywhere. 'yea he did get tripped in the box, but he went down to easily and so not a pen'. Its literally enough for Eliot to feel the pull and go down, because shirt pulling is against the rules.
