Some goal by Moussa Dembele for Lyon. Not that one.

Just seen the foul on Harvey Elliott and whilst the injury is a really nasty one and not one you'd wish on any player, the red card to Strujik that followed had similar vibes to the Son one v Everton whereby the ref has judged the foul on the output rather than the input.

Wonder what others think.

Never a card, not even sure it was a foul.
You see plenty of tackles like that every week where the general concensus is"great tackle". In this case the ref let play on until Salah saw the damage and raised attention then all at once it's a red. Reactionary reffing imho.

Absolutely. It's proof (as if proof were needed) that refs do their reffing by emotion (and other subjective factors) rather than objectively. This of course is the same thing that happens when reffing games involving teams in red etc.

It's hard to tell, because decent replays aren't allowed, due to the injury.
I think Strujik wins the ball cleanly, but then there's contact from his other leg.
There's no intent there, but I'd like a better look at it before making up my mind.

The ref didn't even give a foul initially and didn't watch it back to see what happened.
I assume that the VAR bloke called it. He's using footage that we haven't seen and are unlikely to.
Was he right? No idea. Judging by the rest of them, probably not.
