When I saw the replay of the tackle I immediately wondered why only one was red carded. Apparently one of the touch judges was asked by the ref which player had to go and was told both of them, but the ref said he could only red card one of them. A three match ban seems too lenient for it IMO.

Yep. They both deserved a red card straight up. Glad they both got bans.
