Furious Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag accused the Premier League of going back on their pledge to allow greater physical contact this season as midfielder Casemiro was sent off for the second time in little over a month.
The 31-year-old Brazilian now faces a four-match ban after referee Anthony Taylor was sent to the monitor by VAR and deemed his challenge on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz to be dangerous.
Casemiro was in tears and had to be consoled by team-mates following his 34th-minute dismissal which left United battling it out for a goalless draw with 10 men.
