They all knew it was a red, they wanted it to look like less of a fuck up.
Same reason they pretended the Havertz one should've also been a red.

It's not meant to make sense, it's meant to distract from what was a very blatant case of match fixing.
"We've actually found ourselves to be completely innocent."
Why's he been sent off when this will clearly have a negative impact on the game?
They are very clearly lying in the audio, there's no way that they don't know it should've been a red, they made the conscious decision to not follow the rules of the sport, to the benefit of one team & the detriment of another.
The fact that this had to be leaked & wasn't released on the VAR review show says it all, they were trying to hide it.
And yet the majority will still laugh at the idea of the PGMOL facilitating match fixing.
