Good goal, that.

Was just going to comment on that.
The Premier League have said: "The red card for Son was for endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge."
On that basis Djibril Cisse should have been red carded whenever he set foot on the pitch, his bones were made of glass!

So he should be.
Maybe the morons that think tactical fouls are good should look at that and think again. Never ever getting the ball.
He obviously isnt meaning to injure Gomes to that intent but he means to hurt him by deliberately bringing him down. He is never ever getting that and the red card is absolutely bang on.
Very few players go out to injure other players on purpose. Son isn't and has never been a dirty player. At all. It's a tackle players make to break up attacks every game up and down the country and across the world. This time it ended in a serious injury but the next hundreds of times it won't.
What? Clearly tactical fouls are, and always have been, yellow cards. Why should the rule change in this instance?
If you think that the rule should be changed in general that's a different discussion, but there's no reason for Son to have been treated differently from anyone else who commits a cynical foul
Oh come on. That was nothing more than a trip. It was incredibly unfortunate.
Had the challenge on Rashford yesterday or the one on Salah the few weeks back resulted in a bad injury then you could bring this up.
Son wasn't a red card, a yellow yes but not a red, if that's a red card challange there won't be any tackles left in the game full stop.
Gomes has had a horrific injury but on images after looks ike it's due to his foot getting stuck in grass or aurier knock neither of which son can control

Others have already replied for me, it was incredibly unfortunate.

Should Milner have been given a red for bringing down Lucas off the ball last week? Of course not.
The Premier League have become an complete embarrassment now, they're just using VAR to cover up the fact the standard of refereeing is now worse than ever.

Tactical fouls really **** me off and should be a yellow card every single time they're committed. Consistency lacks there though, with a number - aka Man City weekly - just being a 'telling off.'
Another ref getting it totally wrong for me. Son has tactically tripped him. Yellow card for that. Aurier has then blocked him as he goes down and that is what causes the awful injury. How he's still at Spurs is beyond me.
VAR incident yesterday which was a fixed frame and level becomes offside...
The officials need sorting out. This is becoming beyond stupid.

I can *kind of* understand Atkinson - if he saw the extent of the injury and believed it to be from the impact from the Son tackle, then working backwards he can only assume that it was a proper chopper. What I can't understand is how VAR didn't overrule it.
