Looking at the opinions of neutrals on social media, most of them think that it should not have been a red for Rice.

Perhaps those of us that think it was a 'definite red' have our blue & white tinted specs too firmly on.

I'll be honest, I do think it was a little harsh and would probably be fuming if our player got sent off for that.
But he wasn’t sent off for the second incident. He was given a second yellow due to kicking the ball away after getting a first yellow which was a definite yellow for a late challenge.
Arsenal angry as they normally get the decisions going in their favour at home.

It wasn't a red. It was a second yellow, correctly, for kicking the ball away to delay the free kick

A point before the game would been a good result. After the opening 20 minutes or so, I would bite your hand off for a point. After they went down to 10 and we equalized, I really felt like we could push on and take all three points.

I did feel like we played a lot better and more organized this game. Fab's tactics starting to set in. Far fewer misplaced passes versus the first two games.

Anyone got a video of Pedro kicking the ball away?

He was running down the field with it, but it drifted out for a throw in. It's one of those where he's almost making a last ditch effort to keep it in, but in this case he knew it was gone. From the refs position, he may not have been sure when Pedro committed to kicking it. If he had been booked, it would have made no difference to the game.

Saka and Havertz both had simple chances at 1-1, but yeah, all down to the ref.
