There are different types of fouls for which a red is issued - for a violent incident (like hitting another player or a reckless tackle) he'd get 3. But for a professional foul like that where he is stopping Gerrard from going clear through on goal it is usually a one game ban, but as you say, he gets two because he's a repeat offender.
