Manchester United fans expressed outrage over a controversial moment in the FA Cup semi-final match where Chelsea defeated Leeds.
Manchester United fans erupted in anger after Calvert-Lewin pulled Cucurella's hair but avoided a red card—unlike Martinez, who was sent off and suspended for three matches.
Following the FA Cup semi-final where the Blues Chelsea beat the Whites Leeds United 1-0 to reach the final against the Sky Blues Manchester City,
there was a contentious moment when Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin appeared to pull the hair of Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella but was not shown a red card. Despite VAR reviewing the incident, the referee allowed play to continue, leaving fans confused.
Meanwhile, Manchester United supporters questioned how Calvert-Lewin escaped a red card, recalling that in a league match where United lost 1-2 to Leeds, United defender Lisandro Martinez was sent off for pulling Calvert-Lewin's hair, receiving a red card for "violent conduct" and a three-match ban.
“Martinez was sent off for pulling Calvert-Lewin’s hair, but Calvert-Lewin wasn’t sent off after pulling Cucurella’s hair. Please explain,”
“Martinez got a red card, but Calvert-Lewin didn’t even get a yellow. Can PGMOL explain this?”
“Calvert-Lewin not being sent off is clearly a double standard.”
