Seeing Red: How discipline shaped the Premier League weekend


SEEING Red was the theme of the week in Premier League football. Saturday alone saw five red cards, some issued for two yellow cards and others as straight reds! One red card sparked a comeback, while another decided on the outcome of a game.

Most of the red cards were justified, but chatter online suggests that some fans from the red side of North London feel their team are being unfairly targeted, as this is their third red card in eight games.
