A very debatable decision in the Man United vs Man City game, with Vincent Kompany given a straight red card for his two-footed tackle on Nani. Kompany jumped in to the challenge and had both feet off the ground, albeit not very high off the ground, and completely won the ball in the tackle. The referee Chris Foy seemed to ignore the challenge at first, there were no complaints from Nani as he lay on the floor without the ball, but Rooney was close to the referee and complained that it was a bad tackle which very may have influenced the referee and pressured him into handing Kompany a straight red card.
