Manchester United Defender Sent Off for Grabbing Opponent’s Hair

The match between Manchester United and Leeds turned into a nightmare for the Red Devils.

Details: In the 55th minute, with Leeds leading 2-0, Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez received a straight red card.

His dismissal stemmed from an unusual incident where he pulled opposing forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin by the hair. Following a VAR review, the referee determined this act constituted violent conduct.

The review began in the 54th minute, as the video assistant referee looked into a possible offense. Footage clearly showed Martinez’s aggressive action, leaving the officials with no choice but to send him off.
