Only 5 more mins of squeaky bum time to go. Never a nice relaxing finish in our matches.
 
The ref got both decisions spot on. Alonso got the ball before man and Koscielny was the last man. Arsenal are the perenial losers.



Is it not a yellow if there was an attempt to get the ball under the new rules? Not sure he did mind you, although I thought it was quite a dive.

I agree if he had attempted to make a tackle, but when it is a push I still think the ref is in his right to award the red. Believe there is something in the rules about "making a genuine attempt" at winning the ball. But I'm not 100% sure so will stand corrected if someone can clarify.

No I think you've got it spot on mate.
