The rules have changed here though

If a genuine attempt to play the ball is made then it is not an automatic red card.

"It is no longer an automatic red card if a player or goalkeeper brings down an opponent while acting as the last line of defence; where a genuine attempt has been made to play the ball, officials will be allowed to give a penalty and only book the offender.”
