Although I hate to say it it was a red card. As he ran past him he's punched the burnley player on the arm area. However I don't know wether the 4th official I allowed to get the player sent off.

The 4th official is allowed to report anything to the ref which he feels is necessary.

Vincelot gave the Burnley player a little jab on his arm, possibly his side. It wasn't violent at all.

Did the fourth official see it or was it brought to his attention by the burnley bench. He in turn spoke to the lino who then told the ref. If that was the chain of events then that is bloody wrong you can't ref a game on the say so of one of the benches

They`re professionals. They get professionals wages, drive flash cars and get all the lifestyle benefits associated with their profession at a given level. Is it too much to ask that they don`t get involved in childish little scraps which end up with the team/ club/ supporters suffering the disappointment of another 3 points dropped. We would have mullered Burnley with 11 men on the pitch. Lads, it aint rocket surgery. Stay on the pitch = win more games = better chance of promotion = sell the Audi R8`s and buy a Ferrari.
I thought Horton said they both looked harsh
talking of injustice - seeing Chris Ramsay is a stark reminder of that awful challenge by whiteside that resulted in CR not able to get in front of stapleton who had an easy unmarked (stupid top of his head) header to get them back into that game.
only one person to blame - Vincelot. A clear punch that gave the 4th official, lino and ultimately the referee no alternative but to send him off. Let's face it at that stage of the match the ref has no intention of sending someone off but if something is brought to his attention (whatever the stage of the match) he has to take note.......otherwise the assessors mark him down and he gets suspended.

Is there any footage of this?
It might have been ramsey that said it. I wasn't paying that much attention, I just heard the quote while enjoying my half time tea.

It was silly and if you're going to get sent off for punching you might as well do it properly. It was more of a pinch punch first day of the month than GBH.

It was about the same level of violence as David Beckham versus Argentina 1998.

Not True - although not blameless for the retailiation, he got a viscious elbow to the face from the Burnley player - something that suprisingly the Burnleyh bench failed to highlight to the fourth official.
Yes, but not the "official" broadcast footage. However, no point in appealing as Vincelot did commit the offence .... but it is a shame that the provocation has not been universally understood ... in MY opinion both players should have gone

He definitely punched him; into the ribs or kidney area I would say. Clearly visible from WSL, right behind the away dugout. Senseless.
And also, if it had been the other way round, Gus would have done the same as Howe.

Deserved what he got BUT the Burnley player had been swinging his arms at Vincelot as well. Whatever the punishment it should have been the same for both - cannot believe their player did not even get yellow (and then got away with a shocking late tackle on Tanno)
