Casemiro received the first straight red card of his career after a moment of madness during Saturday afternoon's fiery clash between Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
The Brazilian midfielder, 30, was given his marching orders in the 70th minute at Old Trafford after putting his hand around Will Hughes' throat during a 20-player brawl. The incident occurred after Jeffrey Schlupp flew in on Antony, prompting players from both sides to pile into a major scuffle.
Referee Andre Marriner struggled to split up the warring teams and subsequently showed yellow cards to Antony and Schlupp. A lengthy VAR check then ensued, resulting in Casemiro being shown a straight red card, ruling him out of United's next three games in what is a major blow for Erik ten Hag.
