#5 Sterling sent off for celebrating with the fans
This weekend we saw two red cards being brandished by the referees and for extremely opposite reasons. Miguel Britos of Watford was correctly sent off for arguably one of the worst tackles in football history and question marks have been raised over his future as the red card and a three match suspension may not be the end of problems for Britos. The FA may decide to extend his suspension as well.

On the other hand, Raheem Sterling was sent off in controversial circumstances as he received his second yellow card for celebrating his goal with the fans. Manchester City's Pep Guardiola was left perplexed with the referee's decision and even went to the extent of demanding an explanation.
This yellow card is certainly debatable as in a sport such as football where fans and players run high on emotions. After scoring a last minute winning goal in a crucial match, it is natural for a player to be expressive in his celebrations.
Perhaps, the rules surrounding the celebrations need to be relooked at?
