The ref saw the foul, and sent the player off. What more can he do? What difference would it make having another referee in the stands watching a video of it?

On another note, Taylor should not be lynched over this, despite the frothy-mouthed ravings of Wenger. The tackle was clumsy, and a bit late, but no malicious. It was an accident. Virtually all players will do the same hundreds of times throughout their career but never have the same result.
