In that video, they both get the ball, but ....
Evans tackle is far worse because he has jumped in with both feet with the studs showing. He can not control the "tackle" in any way from that point. Not only was it reckless, it is classed as dangerous and 99 times out of 100, it is a straight red card.
Shelvey's challenge then wasn't reckless, more mis-timed (IMO), as the ball had run away from him a bit following the last challenge. He is stretching for the ball but catches Evans instead.
