I just watched the replay, the Torres goal was excellent, but he earned his sending off.
He flew into that tackle with both feet and his studs up. There wasnt much contact, but thats a good thing, if Torres had caught him clean he'd have broken his leg.
The announcers agreed, clear red card, and they called it a 'chicken tackle' effectively saying that those kinds of tackles are done by a coward who doesnt believe he could win the ball with a clean tackle. Thats paraphrasing obviously, and I probably wouldnt go that far, but it was certainly worth the red, very dangerous.
That said, other than that Torres looks to be quickly regaining his old form.
