Wanyama criticized by Southampton boss Ronald Koeman

Wanyama was sent off for scything tackle on Hammers playmaker Dimitri Payet shortly after half-time

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has criticised midfielder Victor Wanyama after he was sent off for a rash challenge on West Ham's Dimitri Payet.

"That's too much," Koeman told Sky Sports. "We already mentioned after the Norwich game, you can't make that tackle on that place of the pitch.

"It's the same for this situation. It's a hard tackle and you give the referee the possibility to give you a red card."

Resurgent Southampton eked out a fourth straight home win in the Premier League on Saturday despite having to hold out for most of the second half against West Ham United with just 10 men following the sending off of Victor Wanyama.
