RE: André Gomes - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 06-11-2019
My understanding was that the ref originally went to show Son a second yellow, but then changed his mind and gave a straight red. If it's been rescinded, that must be what happened.

I believe it was actually VAR that instructed the ref to issue a straight red on top of the original yellow, therefore not two yellows.

If that's the case, it's just one more reason why VAR deserves the boot. For all intents and purposes, they're tacitly admitting that even a team of refs with video replays at their disposal can't be trusted to get a decision right in the heat of the moment.
