We were extremely lucky that Konate didn't get that second yellow. The pen was legit. Young was unlucky with the first yellow, not the second. VAR should have the power to call a review on potential second yellows. They are just as game changing as reds, it makes no sense that they can't be reviewed.
They defended brilliantly but at the end of the day we absolutely dominated. If Young stays on the pitch, I still think we win, it would just be a very different game.
