plus that red card came from a referee who isn't quick to throw a yellow

nevermind a red, so when it came out I trusted Walton's decision, and the replays backed it up

What's stupid about it is Gunnarsson threw himself into the first tackle which could have been a freekick, then got up and stupidly went in very dangerously and deserved all he got
