In the end I don't think it all comes down to the red card shown to Rico Lewis, while the second yellow was a completely wrong call by the referee, the game also shows that receiving a yellow card carelessly could end up costing your team a shot at winning a match, the first yellow card received by Lewis was the right call from the ref, but it was a needless one for the player and could have been easily avoided, maybe if City had 11 men for the final stretch of the game they could pressed Palace better. Easier said than, because game was evenly poised and Man City weren't the better side to have earned a win, perhaps, they earned the most deserved, which is a point.
Believe me yeah, that red card was worth it. That approach was just too aggressive and we saw a direct contact hitting Chalobahs ankle during the game. I saw the game and I can say that it was the right call from.the official.
Palace should have been ahead with 2 to nil in the first half but they failed to convert a clinical chance they got to score a goal to double the lead.
I saw the entire game as well but still don't agree with the call, it was a huge mistake by the referee imo, if VAR could have intervened I'm sure the call would have been overturned but it's a second yellow card and isn't within their jurisdiction to make any interference with the on-field decision. I would agree that Crystal Palace did have better clearcut chances and should have been up by 2 goals or perhaps more.
That defending style is just unacceptable. You concede 3 goals at home. I wish Amorim good luck on making this team great again. It is a tough job to do honestly.
I just indicated the points I didn't understand about his choices and that's all. Nobody has to think the same as everyone else.
