The referee has come under fire for the decision.

On Saturday 3 November, Leicester City played against Cardiff, with the game beginning with a minute's silence before kicking off in the Welsh capital. Leicester City's Demarai Gray scored the game's first and only goal ten minutes into the second half, and took off his jersey to celebrate, revealing another jersey underneath, with the words "For Khun Vichai" printed on the front. Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was was one of five people killed last Saturday when his helicopter crashed outside the club’s King Power Stadium following a league match against West Ham. Here are the celebrations: https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1058758504952020992 However, following these scenes, referee Lee Probert showed Gray the yellow card for removing his jersey, which many fans have reacted severely to. While there has been some anger placed towards Probert for showing the card in the first place, many others understand that he had been put in a difficult position in the first place. https://twitter.com/mrandrewdickson/status/1059009095980761089 https://twitter.com/DavidVujanic/status/1058868966918119424 https://twitter.com/MellorFootball/status/1058755784669044736 https://twitter.com/James_Hall92/status/1059031360717946880 https://twitter.com/smtm_LFC/status/1058835531260399618 https://twitter.com/Reece_GFC/status/1058855399770742784 https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/1058856829571104768
