Danny Murphy believes Jesse Marsch was understandably incensed before being sent off during Leeds United’s 5-2 defeat against Brentford. With the score at 3-1, the Whites’ boss was enraged after Crysencio Summerville was brought down in the box by Aaron Hickey.
Referee Rob Jones waved away the protests before giving a soft free-kick to the Bees moments later in the middle of the park once the ball had been cleared. VAR decided not to intervene, causing Marsch to lose his cool on the touchline.
The American was ultimately sent off and forced to watch the remainder of the defeat from the stands. As it stands, Marsch will face a one-match touchline ban and miss next Monday’s home clash against Nottingham Forest.
