Two dodgy sendings off (according to the managers, anyway, see Football365), and two goals for Paolo Di Canio, in his first appearance against the Arsenal since the fiasco at Hillsborough last year. Di Canio was also involved in Vieira's sending off, appearing to dive to get Paddy a second yellow card.

But even if Vieira is suffereing from his reputation, there's no excusing his subsequent behaviour, having a go at Ruddock on his way off. It's just that kind of thing that gets you the rep, and makes sure it sticks.
