Yeah maybe.
Don't agree with straight red for Rutter, that would have been a travesty imv. Booking for Pedro though, absolutely. I HATE that in his game, and a reason, despite his quality, I won't be all that upset if he gets sold this summer.
I'm not going to blame Pedro entirely. The coaching team need to have very strong words with him. It's a thoroughly irritating feature of the game generally but Pedro in particular and I would have no problem with the FA enforcing retrospectively.

Just watched MOTD again on i-Player - Mitoma's 'goal'............. looks like a perfect example of a 50/50 ball to me. Of course Mitoma had a right to follow it in, IMHO. Oh well, some bright sparks keep changing and re-defining the rules, just have to live with it.
''It is what it shouldn't be,'' perhaps.

Was Jack’s shot going wide before it was deflected in? Maybe he should’ve had that goal?

In my opinion it takes a lot of originality and smarts to use the defender to score a goal for you.

If the keeper has weak hands in that moment I can’t see why it’s disallowed. He pushes it onto Mitoma’s arm. I still think the result would have been a draw just wondering why keepers get so much protection.
