Manchester United manager Michael Carrick could not even look at Lisandro Martinez after the defender gave away a penalty and was sent off in the second half against Chelsea. The Argentina international was shown a second yellow card within two minutes, with VAR intervening to award a spot-kick for a challenge on Wesley Fofana inside the penalty area.
Second booking proves costly
Martinez's dismissal came after a moment of madness that saw him booked twice in quick succession. The second incident prompted a VAR review, which determined that his challenge on Fofana warranted a penalty and a red card.
Carrick's immediate reaction, captured on camera, showed the United boss unable to look at his defender as the decision was made.
Impact on the match
The penalty and sending off left Manchester United at a numerical disadvantage against Chelsea, with Martinez's early exit shaping the remainder of the contest.
Further details are expected to follow as the match continues.
