I'm not arguing about the letter of law...or the red. I stated that. I'm arguing the point about whether Mane had no excuse to make the challenge. Every attacking player goes after that ball. Every one.

Below is a link to Benteke's bicycle against United. If Herrera (?) showed half the guts of Ederson, he'd have had a boot in the face too.

My point being that you can't say that Mane did anything other players wouldn't. The commentators in the video all stated as much. Mane didn't lose control of his body. The keeper made a brave challenge, and both players paid the price - in different ways.
