Television pundits Glenn Hoddle and Rio Ferdinand were left fuming at the 'nonsense' double jeopardy rule that saw David Luiz and Jan Bednarek controversially sent off during a crazy night of Premier League action.
The Arsenal and Southampton pair both made minimal contact to deny goalscoring opportunities for their opponents but were sent their marching orders as they suffered 2-1 and 9-0 defeats against Wolves and Manchester United.
In both cases many felt the 'double jeopardy' rule, which prevents two punishments of the player being sent off and a penalty being given if it is an accidental challenge, should have come into effect.
