Benteke sent off straight red ! WOW

Apparently two yellows, so no VAR

Benteke off for a second yellow, very similar to the first tbh. Both a touch harsh, the sort of thing that usually happens to one of our players

alderz

They’re going to go very defensive now. Be interesting to see what we’ve got in the locker to break down a team like this.

Dodger58

Bit harsh, but we’ve suffered similarly in the past

yoyo

Careless rather than spiteful

OldCastleSwift

Very harsh, IMO.

But we'll take it.

Might not necessarily be in our favour, really. They'll be even harder to break down now.

yoyo

But hopefully less likely to score

Wasn't Carroll sent off for 2 similar challenges, a yellow for each?

buffybegood

Zaha gonna be going down even easier now.

It's like jumping while tall is an offence. Need to sort that out. It's been a big fail on the part of the referees for years.

Yeoldhammer

Ayew on for Eze

Yeah completely agree. We all hated that every decision went against Carroll and Cole for years, and the same thing had happened here for Benteke.

Coufal had had an excellent game again today

“Turn the screw and shut things down”

Great commentary

yoyo

We're not pressing them

alderz

We’ve not looked like we’ll be able to break them down

Dodger58

Nothing from the left. Benrahma not at the races, Cresswell worried about his left ankle

buffybegood

Snoddy on for Benrahma

yoyo

Come on Snoddy, get a 20 yard screamer

OldCastleSwift

Yarmo and Snoddy from the bench.

Pace.

Dodger58

Good call on MoM with Soufal

Come on Snoddy, get one off your shin from 2 yards

Yeoldhammer

Rice with a nice effort very close to.

MIAHammer

We seem to be afraid to cross the ball.
