VIDEO: Zlatan Ibrahimovic sees straight red against Chelsea

Well Jose Mourinho has no right to criticize referees for being against him now. Zlatan Ibrahimovic got sent off for this tackle on Oscar when it appeared that both were simply going for the ball. Oscar lived up to the award that bears his name and rolled around like a five year old throwing a temper tantrum at Wal-Mart and the referee didn’t even consider giving anything other than a straight red. It’s a debatable yellow but surely not a red, definitely a bad call.
