Two referees in the news in the midweek round of games. Mejuto González made himself unpopular at Villarreal by sending off Gonzalo before half time, and then awarding a penalty to their opponents Real Madrid after Marcelo's cross hit Angel on his uplifted arm from close up. And Paradas Romero was not the flavour of the month at Valladolid, sending Luis Prieto for an early bath when he could have made do with a yellow card, and then leaving the locals with nine men after producing another red for César Arzo (although that at least was quite clear).
