The consequences of Casemiro ’s shocking red card against Southampton were not lost on the Brazilian midfielder as he was sent off once again.
The former Real Madrid star was handed his second dismissal in three Premier League games on Sunday after he crunched in on Saints midfielder Carlos Alcaraz in the 34th minute of the clash. Referee Anthony Taylor did not initially give the decision and instead only awarded a yellow.
That very quickly changed with the intervention of VAR. Taylor was sent to the monitor and did not hesitate in reducing the Red Devils to ten men upon second viewing.
