Harsh bookings

What happened to the ruling, where the captain talks to the ref only, & Other players are not for a incident.
It's gone back to groups of players surrounding the ref.

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean on Sky Sports: "When you see a still image you understand what he has done. He has put his studs down his leg for serious foul play. Scraped down the Achilles."

Still images and slow motion always look worse - It was a trip and a nailed on booking.

Surely all the debate and heat around the sending off just goes to emphasise what a difficult job the referees have and the way VAR is used just seems to make matters worse
One thing I am absolutely certain about is that if it had been an opposition player who was sent off then Arteta would have said it was definitely the correct decision!!

Rescinded.
