I thought it was harsh. It was a flick of the foot that I didn't associate with excessive force. The red card was a function of the unfortunate injury incurred
He went yellow because, as we've seen over the last few weeks, the OFR is always available to re-referee the game nowRed for me. Surprised the ref originally gave yellow considering he had a perfect view of the incident.
It's a bit like the various revisions to the handball law. Now, if you put your hands in places where they "shouldn't" be, then you run the risk of the ball hitting them and you getting penalised. Likewise, if you put your boot at a highly unusual height then you run the risk of it hitting parts of other players it shouldn't, with highly painful consequences for both parties involved!!By chance, if Lewis hadn't been injured, the incident would've passed off with a probably caution
