West Ham United midfielder Stewart Downing has spoken of Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney's red card last week.
Rooney saw red for lashing out at Downing during United's 2-1 win.
"It looked worse than it probably was," Downing told the Daily Mail.
"I could see him coming out of the corner of my eye. I thought he might try to trip me because we were on the counter-attack. And while it was a sending-off, he hardly caught me. He's got that in his game now and again, though; that little bit of fire. And he nearly cost them the game because after that we dominated. That was the most disappointing thing - the fact that we didn't take advantage."
