He was doing what any striker would be expected to do, that is go for a 50-50 ball. It wasn't malicious at all as his eyes were fixed on the ball, however i admit it could be seen as reckless with the height of his foot and I'd have been annoyed had it been the other way round. Could easily have been a yellow with a different referee, I've seen worse not get a red but it is what it is. At least he made a public apology to the player.
