You can't eject for unsportsmanlike conduct, it's a yellow card offence.

If the tackle was violent enough (which a football tackle definetely would be!!), it could be considered Serious Foul Play, which is a red card.

If it denied an obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity (ie something like no defenders between keeper and attacker, and no other defenders involved in play... and you are confident that the attacker had a good chance to beat the keeper if he wasn't tackled...) This is also cause for red card.

So it would be a direct kick for attacker where he was tackled ( or a penalty kick if it was in the 18 yard box), and eject the keeper for either of the above 2 reasons.
