The Japan intercontinental, who was generating his first get started of the year, was booked 2 times in the 2nd half of the Gunners’ gritty 1- earn at Selhurst Park.
His initially caution from referee David Coote arrived just after he was adjudged to have taken far too prolonged to choose a toss-in.
That is irrespective of only holding the ball for a matter of seconds right after Kai Havertz dithered beforehand.
He was then presented his marching orders in the 67th moment soon after getting penalised for a foul on Jordan Ayew.
Coote was less than the perception that he experienced pulled the forward’s shirt, but replays confirmed he barely touched the 31-12 months-aged.
As it was a next yellow card, VAR was not able to intervene, and Arsenal can not attractiveness the selection which could have costed them two factors.
But talking on The Athletics Bar, Cundy and previous Tottenham defender Jamie O’Hara insisted that Tomiyasu should not have to provide a one-match ban.
Expressing his outrage, Cundy reported: “The Tomiyasu yellow card is an absolute shame – the next yellow. It is an absolute shame.”

Interjecting, O’Hara stated: “The to start with just one is severe, Kai Havertz retains the ball on the facet for 15 seconds, he then throws it to Tomiyasu.
“Tomiyasu takes it, he only retains the ball and he is truly genuinely hunting to toss the ball to somebody.
“He retains it for 8 seconds, he receives booked.”
Cundy replied: “So what about then if Tomiyasu throws the ball to an individual else? I believe that was just the referee saying, ‘you know what, Arsenal are taking the you know what here’.
“So even even though he’s unfortunate to get booked, really, 25-30 seconds to get a toss-in? Is that what we are declaring is satisfactory? It is not, is it?
“So I assume that scheduling – even however it can be severe on Tomiyasu – I can fully grasp the scheduling, the second one, Jordan Ayew goes down wanting for it.
“He won’t even touch him! I do not consider that Arsenal can in fact appeal that as it was a 2nd yellow.
“If there is any widespread feeling, that yellow card really should be overturned – if there is certainly any frequent sense in the video game.
“That to me is not a 2nd yellow, but VAR can not interfere.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remained limited-lipped around the sending off in his write-up-match interview with Sky Sporting activities.
Asked for his watch, he basically said: “I am a genuinely open up individual, I fully grasp everything.”
Pressed for his impression on the new procedures getting executed for time-throwing away, he remarked: “The new rules is one particular point, the way it is communicated is very unique.
“But we will adapt and these days we had to acquire it in this context and which is what we have done.”
