and the glorious panel of 5 a week later voted this 3-2.

2 people didn't vote this as a red card.

such stupidity that you'd be naive to not consider corruption.

They all agreed it was a red, 2 of them didn't think it was a clear and obvious error for the referee to overturn his original decision

Fwiw him and Jorjinho should've been off. But that's the decision the panel actually made.

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.

Damage control for match fixing.

They both should have been reds.
