Norwich a bit unlucky in both cases but I think both calls were correct.

The red card was terribly harsh. The ball hit below his arm on his chest. Even if he handled the ball, it should have been a yellow only. Fletcher was even offside before the handball so the penalty was a little controversial too.

Well dats norwich's luck :P

The ball hit Bunn's right arm, it was rightly red because Fletcher would have had a clear goal scoring opportunity. As for the pen, having seen it again at HT, you are right, Fletcher was offside and there should not have been a pen.

Wasn't intentional from bunn tho, I think petr cech has made a similar mistake too and was given a yellow.

Intention doesn't matter in this case. There was no Norwich defenders behind him when he handled and therefor the ball was definitely going to Fletcher . Bunn illegally denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity, whether or not intentionally is irrelevant.

Think Bale's injured. Seemed to do his achilles tendon but is still playing, albeit very uncomfortably. He doesn't look too happy.

Something is clearly wrong. The seriousness of the injury is going to be vital.
