The Frenchman claims that the midfielder was right to be dismissed by the referee after he stamped on him during the clash with Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Manchester United against the Gunners has always been a feisty affair, but this time around, Arsene Wenger’s men were rolled over the Red Devils, who ultimately managed to secure victory with 2-1 scoreline.
That having been said, Arsenal were all over the place and the end result was quite flattering for them. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 spurned golden opportunities to seal the points early in the game but luckily for them they weren’t made to pay for
it.
Wenger, opting for a 4-3-3 formation against Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, saw his troops lie in disarray and unable to challenge United in the upper half of the field.
Midfield was the visitor’s strongest point but even star playmaker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282, who was deployed as a shield in front of the defence.
Tempers were flying high and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 became the only casualty of the night as he was given his marching orders following a tough challenge on Patrice Evra, although on another day he could have escaped unscathed.
With referees coming under scrutiny lately, the French International has backed Mike Dean for awarding the correct decision and sending the talented youngster off.
"I think he didn't look for the ball. He stood on my legs and it wasn't the first time. The referee did a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and that's it. That's the rule of the game,” said the ex-French skipper after the game.
However, his fellow country and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 boss, Wenger, chose to believe otherwise and reiterated that his youthful prodigy should have continued on the field.
"I thought it was very harsh. I was surprised that the referee gave him a second yellow card. He went for the ball and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 made the maximum of it. What is unbelievable is how naive the referee can be when he says in front of the other players, 'The
next foul and you are out',” the former Monaco manager was quoted as saying to the media.
