Now the referees know exactly how everyone referees.

They try and come to an even balance.

And that's one thing we talk about all the time is,

What kind of balance are we going to get?

At what level do we pitch ourselves?

At tolerance level?

I think it's got much, much better.

But tonight, I think you called it early.

I said the same.

Thierry said the same.

If a referee sees an incident like that, he is duty-bound to give a penalty.

Tough, tough decision, David.

Seriously, if you look at that...

When Wilshere goes in, it's difficult to tell for the referee who makes the initial contact, whether it be Christensen or Wilshere.

If you watch it, not only does Kante come across his body, you see quite clearly that Fabregas does as well.

The referee is in a position there that if he gambles, and gambles wrongly, he's got a red card.

It's not possible to send somebody off for something you didn't see.

And I would say there is no way the referee, and this is a great view here, there is no way the referee can see that situation clearly enough to make a decision to send a player off.

It's exactly what he's done.

He cannot make that decision.
