New footage sheds light on melee which saw Casemiro sent off for Man United against Crystal Palace

A new camera angle has shed more light on the fight between the players of Manchester United and Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Despite Erik ten Hag’s team seemingly riding to three points thanks to a two-goal lead as the game was over midway through the second half, chaos would ensue after a convergence at the side of the pitch.

Palace’s Jeffrey Schlupp was booked for a rash challenge from Antony, which led to a confrontation between the two sides.

New footage, captured by a supporter in the stands at Old Trafford and shared on Twitter, shows Casemiro approaching and shoving the Ghana international, involving players from both teams in the fight.

The former Real Madrid star can then be seen grabbing Will Hughes by the throat as teammates from both players collide around them.

After consulting with VAR referee Andre Marriner sent Casemiro off, with the Brazilian now facing a three match suspension.

After the match, Ten Hag wondered why only the Brazilian had been reprimanded for his role in the incident.

“I see two teams fighting each other,” said the United manager. “I see two teams where different players crossed the line, and then one player is picked and sent off. That’s not right for me.

“If Casemiro is sent off for this incident, many more players should have been sent off. You have to be consistent.’

When asked if Ayew should have been one of them, Ten Hag replied: ‘Certainly. He did even worse than Casemiro. Casemiro, you freeze the shot and he crossed the line. Of course. You have to be consistent with the VAR.
