Bednarek went off with a head injury, meaning both teams can make an extra substitution.
Well, just reading the Premier League rules it’s the team that has to substitute a player for concussion that can have a total of 6 or 7 substitutions as you are allowed 2 concussion substitutes per team. Southampton having a concussion substitute today doesn’t mean we are allowed to have 6 instead of the normal 5, unless we make a concussion substitute as well.
 
A team is allowed 2 concussion substitutes which are referred to as 'normal' substitutions as opposed to 'additional' substitutions. It comes under Law 3.2. When a 'concussion substitute' is used, the opposing team then has the option to use an 'additional substitute' for any reason.

From the Pl's own site.
Won’t the team using APCSs and also three normal substitutions have a possible advantage by having more fresh players on the field than their opponents?
No, because once an APCS takes place, the opposing team are given the right to make an additional “normal” substitution at a time of their choosing.

His yellow card tackle was a bit stupid, tbh - but he redeemed himself with a nicely taken goal and in winning the pen.
Still, I was glad he was taken off because he was still putting himself about and I was worried about a second yellow.

Didn't even see most of the game mate, just saw the comments so thought I'd wum
