Dan James became the second Leeds player to be shown a straight red card in successive weeks after his shocking tackle on Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who is now a major doubt for the FA Cup final as a result of the crunching challenge.
Jesse Marsch's men were trailing 1-0 at Elland Road when an over-zealous James jumped into a tackle, initially getting the ball but followed through on the tackle and catching Kovacic on the calf.
While the challenge was met with universal approval from the Elland Road crowd, referee Anthony Taylor – who was stood just behind the tackle – saw it differently and brandished the red card.
