Joleon Lescott claimed Andre Marriner and VAR made the 'right decision' to send off Leeds captain Liam Cooper at Manchester City for a high challenge on Gabriel Jesus.
With Marcelo Bielsa leading 1-0 against the Premier League leaders just minutes before half-time, Cooper cleared the ball away from Jesus but caught the Brazilian striker high on the knee.
Referee Marriner initially awarded a foul to City and a yellow card to Cooper but upgraded the punishment to a sending off after consulting the VAR monitor, a decision which former City defender Lescott agreed with.
