That being said....thats a tough call. He absolutely had to show Red there and everyone knew it.
If theres no injury is it Red? I dont know, but there was already a growing resentment and hostility and if Son doesnt see red there this game was going to get out of hand.
Just bad news all around.

Why? It's really not a dangerous tackle at all, and it wasn't preventing a goal. It looks like Gomes caught his foot on the turf and while that sucks, and I really do feel bad for him because he's a good player, that's not how decisions should be made. Atkinson had the yellow out and clearly made that decision, saw the resulting gruesome injury and upgraded to a red. That's pathetic.
There's just no way that's a red card. I get that the injury makes people say that it was obviously dangerous, but it's not what happened. It was definitely a foul, maybe a yellow and never a red. I hope that's appealed and overturned because that's the correct decision.
