While Taylor had a poor game overall I can’t really see anything wrong with the sending’s off. Nketiah dived and was rightly booked then went in high when he was never winning the ball. Guehi’s second yellow was a poor challenge. Definitely a yellow and could have been a straight red, all be it a harsh one.
Well firstly, Nketiah might have gone down, but he'd been hit in the knees and then he didn't start whinging for a penalty either. To get a yellow for diving you need to
"attempt to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)"
Nketiah did not do that. But versus Fulham in the last minute Pedro definitely did, not getting touched and rolling around firstly holding his shins, then his face, before getting up to take the kick to win the game. So the yellow card was wrong and rash by Taylor.
The second yellow, sure, you can argue, but Van Hecke ducked down to a pretty low ball at foot height, can't have been more than 5 foot up, and he should've put his own foot through it, particularly with his height of 6'2". He goes on to roll around slapping the ground like a WWE wrestler as if he's in agony. That's not the behaviour of a player that has been hurt. And as you can see, no blood, not a scratch.
Nketiah doesn't see him either, it's just not intentional at all. It's just poor judgement of football from Taylor.
Guehi's first booking was a really bad decision by Taylor and was totally fooled by the player diving without contact, and Guehi was really annoyed particularly as it was his first foul (wasn't even a foul) and so so deep in their half. The second, sure, caught him.
Taylor really enjoyed himself today flashing those cards about. Not a dirty game at all but he sure as hell managed to make it seem as if it was.
