The EPL explained why Lisandro Martinez did not remove for jumping two feet into an opponent
Manchester United failed to defeat Crystal Palace in the 5th round of the Premier League, with the teams ending the match in a goalless draw, 0-0.
However, after the game, social media was buzzing more about a controversial incident than the match itself.
Details: During one of the plays, United defender Lisandro Martinez jumped in with both feet toward Palace's Daichi Kamada. Fortunately for the Argentine, he didn't make contact with the Japanese player and received only a yellow card instead of a red.
Quote: "The Premier League Match Centre posted on social media after the game: “The referee issued a yellow card to Martinez for the foul on Kamada. VAR checked for a potential red card and confirmed the referee's decision, considering it a reckless challenge but with no contact made with Kamada.”
