Casemiro Sent Off for Horror Tackle as Red Devils Drop Points against Bottom of the League

2023-03-12 23 Dailymotion

Casemiro could not hold back the tears after being sent off for a challenge on midfielder Carlos Alcaraz during Manchester United's match against Southampton at Old Trafford.<br /><br />The Brazilian appeared to lunge for a loose ball with his studs up, catching the opposition man on the front of his shin. <br /><br />Referee Anthony Taylor reached into his pocket and awarded him a yellow card, but was advised to review the tackle on the pitch side monitor, and subsequently changed his decision as he gave Casemiro his marching orders.<br /><br />The red card means the midfielder will be banned for four matches, meaning he will miss league games against Newcastle, Everton, and Brentford, plus next week's FA Cup quarter-final against Fulham. <br /><br />After a fantastic start to life at Old Trafford, earning the plaudits of many commentators and pundits, this is a significant setback for the midfielder who had never received a straight red card before joining Manchester United. <br /><br />He now has as many red cards in the Premier League (2) as he did during his entire time playing in La Liga. <br /><br />United played for almost an hour with 10 men, and could not force a winner against the Saints as both sides had to settle for a 0-0 draw. <br /><br />The Red Devils remain third but are now 16 points behind leaders Arsenal, and 11 points adrift of neighbors Manchester City.
