Wasn't a direct tackle from behind, more of behind from an angle, and he got the ball before body. Getting the ball is what made it not a red.
Vidic only got a yellow because his did not stop a goal directly.
As was mentioned before any time the last man back stops a direct goal with a foul, it is a red card.
