Wasn't there some new rule about this? I vaguely remember something about there being no sending off if a penalty was awarded this season?

Yellow in the box if an there's an attempt to play the ball, red if there isn't.

I'm sure the new law is that it's not an automatic red if the defender denies a clear goal scoring opportunity if they make a genuine attempt to play the ball.
Obviously that was never a genuine attempt to play the ball so should have been a red.

Clear red card, as others have mentioned, as no attempt to play the ball. Then goes on to provide the assist for their winner.

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

Also the player who scored their winner had been booked then about thirty seconds later committed a foul and then threw the ball away. One of the most inept refereeing performances I have seen, sometimes refereeing ineptitude is shared fairly equally between both teams but his decisions altered the result. Whilst we're whinging he ruled out Tav's goal for two Hull players bumping into each other. ****.
