Manchester United endured a frustrating afternoon in the Premier League on Sunday with a 0-0 draw against bottom-placed Southampton marked by the expulsion of midfielder Casemiro.
His team stayed third on 50 points, 16 behind leaders Arsenal but still comfortably placed in the top four positions which qualify for next season's Champions League.United fans were incensed by a series of penalty appeals that referee Anthony Taylor waved away. Adding to their ire, the referee had originally given Casemiro a yellow card before changing it to red after a video check.
An irritated Ten Hag criticised "inconsistency" in refereeing and defended the former Real Madrid stalwart's integrity."Casemiro is a really fair player, tough but fair. It shows. Over 500 games in big European leagues before, never sent off ." Though a point at Old Trafford is a creditable result for anyone, Southampton will rue what might have been. The Saints prop up the standings on 22 points, two off the safety zone in a packed fight against relegation.
"I am disappointed with a point but very happy with the performance," said Southampton manager Ruben Selles. "We saw a team playing together, wanting to get something with the game."
