WATCH and VOTE: Courtois takes down Gomis, sent off. PK, red card, both or none? (video)

Bafetimbi-Gomis

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was sent off with a straight red card after being judged to have taken down Swansea City striker Bafetimbi Gomis on the edge of the 18 on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

Gomis made a darting run to go 1v1 with Courtois, and touched it around the keeper, who had leapt to stop a presumed shot. On the way down, he caught Gomis on the leg.

Referee Michael Oliver had no doubts. Do you?
