GARETH BALE FELL. Gareth Bale was booked. That much we know.
But did he go down without contact, or did Craig Gardner’s knee connect with his?
Bale is one of the fastest players in the Premier League, so even minimal contact could unbalance him. But maybe this contact was less than minor, miniscule.
“It’s the same again. That’s three times now I’ve been clipped and booked for no reason. People keep saying I’m diving – If you get contact it’s not a dive and referees need to look a bit closer.”

Speaking to Sky Sports after the 2-1 away win over Sunderland, Bale, obviously, didn’t think he deserved a yellow:
