Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti becomes the first Premier League manager to be shown a red card after the rule was introduced last year.
The former Napoli boss confronted referee at full time despite being sent-off after his team drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Goodison Park.
Dominic Calvert Lewin’s injury time goal was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson was lying in front of United stopper David De Gea when the goal was scored, leading to the goal being disallowed.
Ancelotti feels that Sigurdsson did not affect the goalkeeper’s vision.
Ancelotti feels he did not disrespect the referee.
”For sure I didn’t disrespect him, but I can understand also at the end of the game, there is a lot of pressure and excitement, a lot of important decisions but I didn’t respect him.” Said Ancelotti.
The Red card means Ancelotti will miss the Premier League clash against his former team Chelsea next Sunday.
