LONDON (Reuters) - Premier League referee Chris Kavanagh conceded he 'didn't like' showing Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice a red card for kicking the ball away during the draw against Brighton & Hove Albion last month, but had no choice.
The audio of the incident was released on Tuesday in the first episode of the Premier League's "Match Officials Mic'd Up" in which former referee Howard Webb joined former England striker Michael Owen to discuss five on-field decisions.
