After clearing the ball up the pitch, the Paraguayan caught Ben Chilwell with his follow through and referee Chris Kavanagh was instructed to go to the pitchside screen.
And having watched replays of the incident, he deemed Balbuena's challenge to have endangered an opponent and brandished the red card in the second half.
David Moyes was absolutely furious with the decision and so too were fans, players and pundits on social media.
I tell you what.. Scrap tackling because every single week something is getting slowed down to make it look 100% worse. Chilwell has the right to go down as it's a sore one. But that's it! Red card? Never in a million years.
