I agree Hound, anybody would think it was well-rehearsed and staged to take place right in front of the dug-out, in full view of the fourth official, and Steve Evans and his assistant, who's impeccable reputations of sportsmanship were fully exposed as they wretched in repulsion at the monstrous act they'd just witnessed. 

Any other manager, I'd say was ever so slightly putting a show on to bluff the officlals, but surely not good old honest Steve Evans?

So which part of that, looking at the video evidence, is endangering the safety of the opponent?

Probably the bit where his elbow connects with his face.

Except, from what you can see on the video, it didn't appear to do. As I've said, if anything it looks like the defender's face made contact with Okenabirhie's shoulder.
