Following on from comments in the 2019/20 Rolling Results thread page 105, was Son's straight red card the correct decision or a over reaction given the severity of the injury suffered by Gomes?
Atkinson, the referee, seemed to have prepared to take a yellow out of his pocket, but I wonder if the VAR (Alty fan Taylor) then intervened, and the decision changed?
Suspect it was for the 'endangering an opponent' angle, and I wonder if Spurs have any grounds to appeal, given that Son will now miss three games?
If we're, as a rule, taking this viewpoint, is a little nudge on a player who then collides with, for example, a goal post, or advertising board, (think that happened to Gomez of Liverpool at Burnley last season), also going to receive the same punishment?
I did see one comment from a former pro that it was a yellow, not red, card.
