Jamie Carragher has called Leeds captain Luke Ayling "an idiot" after he was sent off on Sunday for a shocking two-footed tackle on Arsenal youngster Gabriel Martinelli.
The 30-year-old, who started his career with the Gunners, recklessly flew into the challenge at pace and left Martinelli on the floor. The Brazilian's team-mates were furious with the tackle and a scuffle between the two sets of players unfolded at the Emirates.
Referee Chris Kavanagh booked Ayling for the foul, but VAR asked the official to take another look at the challenge. Kavanagh inevitably changed his mind and gave the Englishman his marching orders. Martinelli was able to continue playing.
