This Mateo Kovacic red card vs Arsenal (VIDEO BELOW) was a controversial moment from the FA Cup final as the Chelsea midfielder was shown his second yellow card of the game by referee Anthony Taylor, who ruled that the Kovacic Xhaka incident was grounds for a booking for the former. Should Kovacic have been given a second yellow and sent off?

Another blow to Chelsea, who had already lost Christian Pulisic to a hamstring injury.
If anything, this looks like Xhaka stamps Kovacic.
Bizarre that VAR cannot do its job here.
Sad day when a ref can show such bias an still hold his head high. I hope that he at least made some money for selling his soul… Anyone watching the game knew that the red was his intent from the start. He was throwing yellows like they were daffodils in spring during the first half …
