The Premier League have confirmed why Manchester United star Marcel Sabitzer avoided a red card against Leicester City on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils loanee looked fortunate to escape without as much as a booking after a late challenge on Wout Faes at Old Trafford.
Sabitzer caught the Leicester defender on the knee with a mistimed challenge during the 3-0 win. Referee Stuart Attwell only deemed the foul worthy of a free-kick, with VAR agreeing that no further action was deemed necessary.
Newcastle United fans were left angered by the decision, with Sabitzer avoiding a red card that would have ruled him out of the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
