Totally unexpected. Great heart and a little luck to boot.

On the red, how was it upgraded... the ref never went to the screen to view a replay and we heard no coms. Can't be for the afters as he hit the ground straight away.
If im reading it right I saw him go for his pocket straight away but held off once the melee started. I think he was going to pull a red straight away but then waited to confer with his other officials. Good refereeing in my opinion and Armiento did not have too many arguments about it. Think the ref got it right.

Not sure how Eze got a card, if there was anything it was off camera.

He reached for his left (shorts) pocket at the time of the foul (pre fracas). At the time I assumed that was a yellow as reds are often back pocket or top pocket. As it turned out, he produced the red from his left shorts pocket, so likely he was going straight to red. So fair call. I have yet to get a good view of the challenge, so can't comment on it. 
However, I don't think the validity of the card should be judged on the level of histrionics/protest of the player. That only encourages them.

He reached for his left (shorts) pocket at the time of the foul (pre fracas). At the time I assumed that was a yellow as reds are often back pocket or top pocket. As it turned out, he produced the red from his left front pocket, so likely he was going straight to red. So fair call. I have yet to get a good view of the challenge, so can't comment on it.
