James McLean was booked for a nasty challenge on Alexis Sanchez who was the target of a lot of kicks from West Brom on Saturday that the referee ignored.
It was not lost on the Arsenal fans that Granit Xhaka would most likely have been imprisoned for life had he committed the same sort of tackle.
"That's just clumsy" says co-comms of a tackle he'd no doubt want Granit Xhaka shot for.

Xhaka would have been sent of for that

That's what happens when the ref allows rotational fouling early in the game.

McClean did some serious Panel beating with that poor tackle on Sanchez. Borderline reckless.
