Controversial Hair Pull Earns Man Utd’s Martinez Red Card, Carrick Outraged
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United was sent off for pulling the hair of Leeds United’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a decision that has drawn heavy criticism from manager Michael Carrick. Carrick called the red card “one of the worst” he’s ever seen, arguing the dismissal was unwarranted and inconsistent with the laws of the game.
The incident occurred during United’s 2-1 defeat to Leeds, and Martinez now faces a three-match suspension.
