It's a soft yellow yes, however it's a rule that is not being used consistently.
That is true yes, but one would argue that the rule has been in placed for a LONG time and MANY players have received a Yellow for that in the past (Perhaps is not as consistent as it should be) but then again we are all human, and everyone has a different point of view (and while the referees) should all be in the same page when it comes to following the rules, some stuff is still left to their judgement.
Either way, it was still a Draw and it was early in the season, I'm pretty sure Arsenal can still keep up with Manchester City and I'm sure Rice won't make the same mistake again in the future. (especially if he already has a yellow)
