Ref Watch: Was Casemiro unlucky to see red for Man Utd vs Crystal Palace | Should Jordan Ayew have been sent off?

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher dissects the flashpoints from the weekend's action, including Manchester United midfielder Casemiro's straight red card against Crystal Palace.

"If you watch Scott Ledger (the assistant referee), he's trying to control players, he then goes round the back to get a better view of something else.

"Casemiro is actually behind his back (at this point) that's the problem there is just so much going on. I think the VAR picked up Casemiro and people are asking why Ayew wasn't picked up. I think there is only so much they can pick up at the time.

"I think Casemiro is a red card. The reason I say that is because you can't condone a player putting both hands around somebody's throat.

"I think the VAR has looked at it and recommended that it is a red card. There are other things going on - is somebody a peacemaker or an aggressor? I think the FA will look at that today and it s up to them to see if they have to process anything else.
