He was right to send him off but that rule is one of the worst in football in my opinion. A player is brought down denying a goal scoring opportunity, but a penalty is given which is a goal scoring opportunity, so the goal scoring opportunity isn't denied. Why should they be given a red card as well and punished twice? Anywhere else on the pitch where its not a goal scoring opportunity its a yellow card or just a foul, i don't know why that should change.
