After Mourinho had blamed Rudiger for making a big deal out of having studs thrust into his stomach/ribs, I was pleased to see the premier league agreed with the red card decision. I wonder if Mourinho will now claim Kepa overreacted to having a cup thrown at him - the Spurs fan was just offering him a cup of tea.
Merry Christmas Jose.

Rudiger overreacted
Son should have been sent off
Simple

Spurs actually appealed? Who thought that was a good idea?

Rudiger did massively overreact though

This was the point Mourinho made - but he made no mention of the ridiculous behaviour of Son who was deservedly sent off. Mourinho is fine criticizing players from other teams for irrelevant behaviour, but not his players for outlandish and offensive behaviour. It’s too early in their relationship for this type of comment to affect the way Spurs fans view Mourinho. But I guarantee in a year or two of him constantly dragging their club through the mud they will start calling for him to go. But he wasn’t alone in making the decision to appeal Son’s red card - someone else is responsible for that too. Crazy.

Would Son have been sent off if Rudiger had not overreacted?
It was the correct decision of course and well done VAR and refs but I wonder if Rudiger had just stood there, would the end result have been the same?

If they did their jobs correctly then yes. It was just a stupid move from Son. Intent was there and that's enough.

Yes. Because his legs are bent when he spins and then he kicks up. It's violent behaviour and a straight red card a pathetic petulant red card.
Rudiger over reacts as well. Both pathetic school boy biatches

I found it funny tbh, I'm sure even Jose knew he was talking out his backside. Gotta defend his player.

Do any of you play football on grass? Anyone who has felt studs down there stomach will know the pain. Makes no odds how Rudiger reacts that is a straight red all day long.
