Now the England keeper has apologised to the Albion fans but is still having a go at Chopra's part in the incident.
"I'm captain of the team, a role I take very seriously, and I shouldn't have reacted in the way I did," said Carson.
"It was a really frustrating night and that came to the fore with my red card.
"A cross came over and I got caught by their player, who got nowhere near the ball.
"I should have just let it go and I'm disappointed in myself for getting involved.
"Having said that, I believe I was provoked and am disappointed in the way a fellow professional reacted.
"But I apologise to the players, the supporters and everyone connected with the club for the fact I was sent off and left us a man short.
"It was completely out of character for me to be involved in anything like that.
"The fact it also led to a penalty just made it worse."
Carson misses the next three games.
