“by the rules, swipe at face is a red, so mavropanos probably should have also been sent off alongside todibo while they should have been attacking a corner what an utter meltdown of a second half wham united have had lol” · 97 upvotes

“Traore and Mavopanos should've been sent off as well. 1 literally threw Cucurella and the other slapped or tried to slap Palmer. Regardless, West Ham is such a band of losers.” · 22 upvotes
