To be fair, the commentators said that it was a yellow because Sane was running away from goal. However, as soon as I saw the challenge I said it should be a red because Bennett stopped a goal-scoring opportunity. Seeing the slo-mo showed the challenge was worse than I or the commentators or the ref thought it was.

It was an awful challenge though - definitely not mis-timed. It was as cynical as they come.
