Vieira: I didn't deserve to see red

Patrick Vieira believes he was harshly treated in being sent off by referee Andy D'Urso in Arsenal's 4-0 win over Leicester at Highbury.  

Vieira was given his marching orders after a second yellow card for a clash with Leicester's Dennis Wise, who was also sent off.

But Vieira told Arsenal Clubcall: "I don't think I deserved it."

He added: "The first yellow card was for a late challenge which I can accept but the second one was difficult to accept. It is the referee's decision.

"There was a challenge on Robert Pires and then Dennis Wise came up and shouted at him.

"I told Wise to be quiet and just carry on playing football but then he shouted at me and we went head to head. Everything happened so quick."
