I must confess I have not watched it again yet, but watching live, I didn't even consider it to be a foul, let alone a cardable offence. When the red appeared, I was totally astonished.
I am pretty sure if you watch the clip it is clear both players were hell bent on getting the ball and then...
Not if its overturned.
But I genuinely can't think of a worse decision to send a player off that I have seen live. I really can't.
It wasn't even a foul. And yet on Saturday a two footed lunge got a yellow card!
