Arsene Wenger has already admitted that he knew that Jack Wilshere was on a last warning from Mike Dean on Saturday before he got sent off, but also angrily blamed Patrice Evra for diving to make the tackle look worse.
Wenger said: “The red card was very harsh,”
“I find the referees very naive because when you say to the players, ‘Look for the next foul and you’ll get a second yellow’, that means a signal for everybody of the other team to dive. And of course they do it.
“Wilshere went for the ball and Evra made the maximum of it. To me it looked a regular challenge.”
Evra himself is quite adamant that Wilshere went in too recklessly and fully deserved his second caution. Evra said: “He didn’t look for the ball. He stood on my legs and it wasn’t the first time.”
To be fair on Wilshere, he has hardly played enough yet to get back his rhythm of the game and is certain to improve. Perhaps his lunge was due more to tiredness than to malice?
