Two expulsions in his last three games he suffered Casemiro in the Premier League. The Brazilian player again saw the direct red card this Sunday during the match between Manchester United and Southampton for a very hard tackle and will be sanctioned with four games without playing.
The game took place at minute 34. Casemiro went to steal the ball from Carlos Alcaraz, but he did so with his studs in front and level with the Southampton player’s shin guard. Referee Anthony Taylor was called by VAR and when he saw the action he didn’t hesitate: He sent the ex-Madridista to the locker room.
The midfielder didn’t protest the red card, aware that the action had been excessive and deserved a sending-off. Seeing the box, Casemiro took the punishmentkissed with his partner Antony, wiped away a tear that fellapologized to Carlos Alcaraz and headed headlong into the locker room after receiving consolation from David de Gea.
It was precisely the spanish goalkeeper the hero of the matchsince his saves saved a point for the red devilswho eventually drew and goalless against Southampton.
Casemiro, who was already sent off in the match against Crystal Palace, then missed three games and will now be predictably penalized with four games without playing in a losing streak unprecedented in his career.
