He went for the ball. Perhaps he was slightly overzealous and frustrated seeing as the tackle was in the 90th minute, and the game was all but lost, but I didn't see any malice or harmful intent in the tackle.
Definitely, exactly how he used to tackle. But cleanly win the ball. If the St. Etienne player wasn't 52 years old it could have been even worse.
Didn't look that bad at all, but in the context of the game with the massive reaction it's easy to see why refs give reds for that.
Wasn't as dangerous as some of the stud tackles you see. There is a reason why refs often give reds for any lunge at speed though, the game is a lot faster now.
I bet Aulas will keep hold of him for at least another year; he'll probably make him the second highest player in the team, and sell Valbuena and Ghezzal to make the money for it.
He's having a really good season, monster of a midfielder
