Not sure I completely agree with this. Maybe his first booking was harsh but he'd given away a few free kicks so must have known any transgression could get him in trouble. Then he knew he was on a yellow card and makes a reckless tackle on Carroll. He didn't need to dive in, at 3-1 we looked OK and that made it close. He was like a new Kyle Walker, great pace and energy, at times in poor positions and wasn't smart at the key moments.
His first yellow card was a joke - as it didn't even warrant a free kick.
But he knew he was on a yellow card so should NOT have launched into that unnecessary tackle. But I hope he's learned his lesson.
First yellow wasn't for that specific challenge. The ref clearly indicated it was for persistent fouling.
I think it would have been sensible from the manager to bring him off after the first yellow seeing as he made a lot of lounging and challenges off his feet. Was always running a risk after that.
Oh no he didn't!Oh yes he did!
