FUMING Arsenal fans are convinced Ruben Dias should have been sent off in their clash with Manchester City.
Goals from Kevin de Bruyne and John Stones handed the Premier League champions a comfortable 2-0 lead as they approached half-time at the Etihad in the title race six-pointer.

Dias and White were both booked for the incident
And tempers began to boil over on both sides in added time when Dias and Ben White wrestled for the ball in the corner.
White attempted to kick the ball out from under the Man City centre-back’s legs.
And when he eventually retrieved the ball, Dias then lashed out at White’s calf – although he did not connect with much force.
But Arsenal supporters feel the Portuguese defender should have been dismissed.
One said: “That should be a RED for Dias. That’s a kick in the back of the leg with his cleats.”
Another added: “How come that’s not a red card for Dias there?”
A third replied: “Ruben Dias literally kicks White in the calf out of pure anger and doesn’t get a red card. It’s amazing what amount of luck infinite billions can buy.”
And a fourth responded: “Dias knew what he was doing. Definitely a red card for me…”
