Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez received a red card during an intense match against Leeds United for pulling Dominic Calvert Lewin’s hair.
Old Trafford was the scene of an incident that changed the outcome of the game.
Red Card After VAR Review
Paul Tierney initially missed this foul. The Video Assistant referee then intervened, asking him to view the incident in the pitchside monitor.
Tierney gave a red card after watching the replay.
Manchester United already under pressure
Manchester United was already in a bad situation at the time. The team was already trailing by 2-0 thanks to Noah Okafor’s two goals in the first half.
Martinez’s dismissal has made United’s situation even worse, as they are now down to ten players for the rest of the game.
Confirmation of Three-Match Ban
It is a blow to United because Martinez had only recently returned to play after recovering from an injury in his calf.
This was his first Premier League appearance since the West Ham United 1-1 draw in early February.
The Key Moment that Changed the Game
These moments can be costly and had an impact on the outcome of the match.
