I agree I thought it was a red however the only thing I could see that provides doubt, is that Asp is sliding underneath Lo Celso. That's to say that Gio is already bringing his foot down without the knowledge of knowing Asp's leg will end up coming underneath his foot.How on earth did he stay on the pitch?
Definitely a red, any day of the week.
Saying that, can someone compare the reactions in the media over there, in comparison to Maguire.
Plenty in the media pleaded Sterling’s case for his challenge on Dele, he didn’t deserve a red as “he’s not that sort of player”.With the risk of repeating what I said in another thread. The more you look at it the more it looks like a red. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it though because Robertson, Capoue, Cantwell, Mount, Sterling all made challenges on our players this season that were as bad or worse. How come the media or pundits aren't kicking off about those ones?
It's about time we had a little something go our way. After today at least we have the consolation of not having another one of our best players missing some games for us.

It was a red card but he only got a yellow as he is a nice guy.
I'm sure he'll get more goals as he can dribble. Opens up scoring opportunities.I like him. Reckon he will be at least as good as Eriksen with the assists but not the goals.
Exactly. He got a yellow for his challenge on Dele that deserved a red and even then he got away with another yellow for his dive/just fell over but it’s all good as he isn’t that sort of a player. Apparently.And then for the second penalty claim, he didn't dive apparently....he was just running so fast that he fell over. Just a big coincidence it was when Lloris came to challenge him..also why did he call for a penalty if he just fell over by himself?
Clear as day red. Lucky for us.
Guaranteed he gets a red in one of his next two games....Definitely a red, any day of the week.

Two people disagreeing with a post that presents both sides!! How fucking weird is that.I agree I thought it was a red however the only thing I could see that provides doubt, is that Asp is sliding underneath Lo Celso.

This doesn't change my view that I think it's a red just offering a possible reason why VAR thought it wasn't.
This would 've been a quick Red confirmed by VAR no doubt had been Son. No big deal here or no big deal when Mcguire kicks on someones balls. Why? Ego? Discrimination or both?
