What’s great is Kane hasn’t even got his customary goal yet...
You appear to have lost track. Easily done with this team!

I need Kane to score some more, I dropped Son from my Fantasy team because Jose said he was injured.
Think both should have got a yellow but I am not complainingIt's not something I like to see, but so often the player who reacts is punished more harshly than the player (and action) that they are retaliating to.
It doesn't matter how gently Martial contacted him...in the modern rules that has to be a red if it's seen. As with the handball rule, subjectivity doesn't come into it when a player intentionally strikes another in the face with a hand. It's harsh, but Martial was naive.
The difference with Lamela is that it was possibly intended to be a push in the chest. Lamela is not looking at Martial and his forearm contacts his chest, neck and jaw. It's not a swinging elbow. It would be very subjective to say he was trying to hit him in the face, so he gets the benefit of the doubt.
If Lamela should be penalised for anything, I'd say it should be simulation, not violent conduct.
