Paul Pogba laughed and shook his head as he exited the field at the Emirates Stadium after drawing a straight red card from the pocket of referee Andre Marriner for stepping on the back of Hector Bellerin's knee.
What's not clear, however, is Pogba's intention - the incident itself may have looked bad (and definitely painful), but the case could also be made that Bellerin lunged in and put his leg right underneath the spot where Pogba's natural next step would have landed.
Did the Manchester United star extend his foot to make contact? Or was he focused only on the ball and not on the Arsenal full-back?
