Another raged: "How is that not a red for Coufal with VAR."
Even ex-Chelsea and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge - working for Sky Sports - was stunned with the decision.
He said: "I don't know if this should be happening on a football pitch.
"Come on, this is WWE stuff. This is rugby stuff. It's an elbow to the jaw."

Manchester United legend Roy Keane added: "The way I look at it - lucky boy. Lucky boy.
"We've seen players get a red for that but it's just a bit, there's no danger, high up the pitch, West Ham are doing well. There's no need for it."
West Ham were leading 2-0 at the time with Mohammed Kudus grabbing a double and Jarod Bowen wrapped up the game at 3-0.
