Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has said he was "brutally surprised" by his red-card against Manchester City.
The Swiss star was given his marching orders for a double-footed tackle on Joao Cancelo, with Arsenal eventually losing 5-0.
"After such a false start, you get criticised. That is normal and part of it. Every player has to accept that," he said to Swiss news agency Keystone-SDA.
"Regarding the red card: brutally surprising! In connection with the Premier League, people often speak about English toughness.
"I got the ball 100 per cent and got a red card. The pictures were not checked by the VAR. I've seen tougher tackles that weren't even rated as fouls.
"Do I get prejudged? I don't know - I don't even want to judge that. I won't let myself be driven crazy about it. I can't undo anything anyway. All I can do is look ahead."
