Exactly that. We've seen much worse punished for much less and, as you pointed out, there was no malice, he was challenging for the ball, which he won.

How many times have players ploughed into Saka and nothing gets given? People talk about how Arsenal are soft and then complain when they put in a good hard tackle, which is what people like... they want to eat their cake and have it too.

You might be right about Bentancur. I'm probably getting mixed up with Romero not tracking Big Gabby.
