Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca believes Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez should have sent off in their 1-1 Premier League draw.

The Argentina international was booked for https://ufabet999.app a tackle in which he landed his foot on the England forward’s knee in second-half stoppage time, a move that was widely regarded as a dangerous challenge, with Palmer attempting to play on for another two or three minutes until the end.

“He went into the dressing room and put ice on him. We have to assess him again. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious to worry about. Of course, you (the media) have to ask me what I think about the referee’s decision in that moment. They spoke to me before the press conference. I think it’s quite clear because almost everyone disagrees with the referee’s decision. For me, there was no contact with the ball and he was directly on the player and it was a high tackle. Of course, it’s a red card,” Maresca said.

Manchester United took the lead through Bruno Fernandes’ penalty before Moises Caicedo’s stunning long-range effort helped Chelsea come away with a point.
