Madrid take a 6 point lead

One football rule that really irks my dad like no other is the last man red card and penalty rule. He always said that a penalty was sufficient why do you need to send the player off as well, especially if it’s the goal keeper. Why should you be punished twice? The rule works both ways, for instance when Jens Lehman was sent off against Barcelona after 18minutes in the final of the 2006 Champions League final it spoilt the game, Arsenal took off Pires (his last game for the club, a real shame) and were down to 10 men. When Luis Suarez stopped Dominic Adiyiah goal-bound header in the dying embers of the World Cup quater-final with his hand he should have been sent off and a goal should have been awarded, Suarez was plainly cheating. On both occasions my old man was enraged, firstly Barcelona had been given a double advantage and Ghana had been cheated.
