It was a really soft penalty but I suppose there was contact so VAR isn’t going to get involved. But yeah straight red regardless of it being a second yellow for me tbh.

Yea not arguing that. My anger is with the ref who gave the shit penalty. First he pointed to his hand too! That is what set everything off and caused a shift in the match

The penalty was bullshit. So was the first yellow. It was a simple booking. The elbow could've been a straight red....but either way the whole thing started from a bs penalty that lead to 1-0 and momentum for Spurs. Nonetheless it still is Arsenal's spot to lose so I can't be too upset over this

I think the first yellow was given because he was playing with some warnings from before. the Knee/Kick in the back of Son along with him grabbing him soon after were borderline/should have been cards. So he basically got an accumulated yellow and then the obstruction is also stonewall yellow.

I missed the warnings. I was distracted by Son hitting Holding with two elbows in the same move

Not to mention If the Tampa Bay Lightning end up losing their NHL playoff game in overtime in the next 15 minutes I'm disappearing for the next few days

So the good Spurs showed up

Soft penalty, deserved sending off (could have been a straight red and had plenty of warning from ref prior )

I kinda changed my mind on the penalty after the game…

When I saw it from the reverse angle, Cedric is not looking at the ball, is blind side so he’s never getting to it, it looks like it’s landing on Son’s head and he just backs into him. Not a stonewaller but I’m now seeing why it was given and why VAR wouldn’t get involved.
