    Bolton manager Owen Coyle said defender Gary Cahill should not have been shown a straight red card in his side's 4-1 defeat by Arsenal.

    The defender was sent off in the 64th minute for a clumsy challenge on Maroune Chamakh and after his absence Arsenal scored two further goals.

    "My initial reaction was the foul was a free-kick or a yellow card but it didn't seem to me a red," said Coyle.

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger stated: "It was more a dark orange or a light red."

    Coyle was also incensed that referee Stuart Attwell, the youngest official in the Premier League aged 27, had not seen a foul on South Korea international Lee Chong-yong moments before Cahill was given his marching orders.

    I would just like to point out how epic Wenger's comment is.

    I completely agree with Coyle, by the way. There is no way that was a sending off. An orange card at least. Then again, we had at least two penalty shouts, not sure how they weren't given.
