The incident happen when Gervinho carrying the ball into the Newcastle box before going down after a slight challenge from Newcastle defender Tiote. Referee Howard Webb wave away the penalty claim before Barton suddenly grab Gervinho shirt then pulling the Ivorian up. Barton action cause a small melee between the two set of players and in that commotion Gervinho raise his arm and slap Joey Barton face.
Gervinho get the marching order while Joey Barton only sees yellow. To be fair, Arsenal should have been a man down before the incident and its also involved Barton. This time, a stamp off the ball by Alex Song was missed by the referee.
Two wrong doesn't make a right. Should Barton sees red too. Or all is fair because the Song challenged was missed by the referee. You be the judge.
