Arsenal were the opening day scalp as Liverpool won at the Emirates, Man United sealed a dramatic late win while Leicester City, Man City, Brighton and Chelsea all got three points on the board...
Looked like she stuck her leg out to trip the West Ham player, definitely a yellow but I wouldn't call it kicking out. Based on the ref's reaction seems like the 4th official told her it should be a red, though whether she was in a good enough position to make that call I'm not sure...
I didn't think it was a red, but I saw someone say something else happened off camera which may have contributed but I'm unsure. The tackle itself I don't think warranted a red.
Agree with what you say about the decisions in the Villa v United game but what about LeTissiers challenge on Daly? At first sight I thought great tackle, on replay I'm not sure? Looks like the lack of goal line technology delayed Chelsea's second goal as the ball certainly looked to be over the line in the previous attempt on goal
Thoughts on Ouahabi's red card?

I've watched the clip about 30 times now and I can't see anything, only having one camera at the game obviously doesn't help.
Do you know if reports that referees file are available to the public? It'd be interesting to see what her thoughts were.

The Le Tissier on Daly tackle is a really tough, I've watched it a lot and generally I think she just about got the ball, even if it's very feint.
