Koeman criticises Wanyama after third red card of the season

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman will have words with Victor Wanyama after the midfielder saw red yet again.

Wanyama was sent off for the third time this season when he chopped down West Ham United’s Dimitri Payet during Saints’ 1-0 win.

The sending-off may have looked harsh, but it left Southampton to play the remaining 36 minutes with 10 men as they clung onto Maya Yoshida’s early goal.

“From the referee’s position it’s a red card,” said Saints boss Koeman. “I was in front of it, and maybe it was harsh, but from his position maybe the tackle looked harder.
“But it was a hard tackle and it gives the referee the possibility to give a red card.
