A player enters the field of play without the required permission and then commits a reckless tackle. What is the correct decision?

THE DECISION

The player receives a caution (yellow card, YC) for each offence (entering without the referee’s permission and the reckless tackle) and therefore is sent off (red card, RC). Where two separate YC offences are committed, even in close proximity, they should result in two YCs. Play is restarted with a direct free kick (or penalty kick).
