That far out on such an angle + other City defenders were in the vicinity only warrants a yellow. If that was in the centre of the pitch and keeper was last man, it's a red.
You are. The referee thought he was refereeing Australian sportsmen who don't fall over like girls at the slightest touch. Bad mistake. He should have remembered it's soccer and called an ambulance for the poor darling.
You clearly don't understand the difference between yellow card and red card offences. The action the GK committed was cynical but it wasn't (i) violent or dangerous and (ii) there were several defenders between the ball and the goal. Yellow card every day.
I'm sorry but idc what the law says, the keeper made the decision to come that far out and he knew he was making that challenge. That should be a send off. I don't care if there is 3 people behind the ball that's a clear and obvious decision to come 50m and foul the player. That's just disgusting
I'm going to need someone to explain to me how that's not a red card, I must be missing something.
I know right. That’s a red all day.
Not last man

@@joezinho0 no attempt at the ball in anyform, its a red card for violent conduct
Any other player in any other position of the pitch would be sent off for going at a player like that regardless of context.
God no one knows the laws of the game in this comments section…
Still the pitch in poor condition in parts.
Gigs and Motocross events. Too much traffic on the pitch for an INTERNATIONAL SPORT, FOOTBALL
The foul by the goal keeper is a 100% red card every day of the week - thats a rugby tackle

Not really.. he obviously came to challenge for the ball, misjudged it, and decided to foul instead. Disgusting is a stretch.
