Another year, another asterisk.
He didn't run in and argue with the ref. He ran in and raised his hand as though he was pushing the player. The player fell down crying out and in that split second looked like he ran in and used force to push over the player. Good for us to see it from a different angle, slow it down, rewatch it again and again. Seen these get red cards in professional leagues.
