I agree. Rules say yellow for reckless, red for excessive force. That was careless for me, not even a yellow. The outcome obviously has influenced them, but that's poor application if law.

Ref gave a yellow, but after a while, I assume VAR, he gave a red. I think Son would have had to come off anyway, he was completely distraught after seeing the injury. Interesting that we end up discussing the red card and not the horrific injury. Best wishes to Gomes, I hope he can make a full recovery.

I don't think it was a red, certainly reckless therefor a yellow but I believe the Ref showed the rad card to try to stop emotion from boiling over into something really unpleasant.
Part of me wondered whether he was sent off just because he was distraught, but I doubt that's why it suddenly became a red.
Obviously it isn't the point but that red card was the best thing that could have happened for him. He probably couldn't have played on and it will take him out of the firing line for a few games.

Some far fetched comments on here - think it’s as simple as the ref being swayed into thinking it was more reckless than it was due to the outcome, which in fairness is probably a quite natural reaction
