Manchester United got points, but lost players. Casemiro was sent off and will miss the next match. Even the card was not received due to a foul, etc., but due to inappropriate behavior in a war of nerves with the opponent, so there was no choice but to worry about additional disciplinary action.
This is the scene where Casemiro was sent off. In the 20th minute of the second half, Anthony was pushed down by Schlub’s foul, and the players of both teams, who were in a heated state, collided. In the process, Casemiro grabbed Palace midfielder Will Hughes by the throat. VAR was played, and the referee showed Casemiro a red card.
After the match, Manchester United fans were outraged. Palace striker Jordan Ayew also acted violently, but he did not receive any disciplinary action. Ayew grabbed Fred by the neck, similar to Casemiro, but no penalty was given, and United fans thought the referee’s decision was unfair.
Casemiro was sent off, but no action was taken against Ayew. A former referee stepped forward to explain why this happened. Dermott Gallagher, who served as a referee in the past, came out and explained the decision in ‘Ref Watch’, a corner of ‘Sky Sports’ in the UK and where former referees participate as a panel.
Gallagher said, “It’s a nightmare situation from a referee’s point of view. There was so much going on. It’s hard for the referee to see everything. The VAR was on Casemiro. There were so many scenes that the VAR could shoot at that time,” Gallagher said. He pointed out that it was because he couldn’t contain them.
