Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was sent off in the second half of his side's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Chelsea on Saturday, October 31, 2026.
The dismissal, described as "inexplicable" by reporters, came after just 83 seconds of what appeared to be a costly spell for the Argentine international.
United, managed by Michael Carrick, were already trailing when Martinez received his marching orders at Stamford Bridge, leaving his team with ten men for the remainder of the match.
Simon Stone, reporting from Stamford Bridge, noted that the red card effectively ended United's hopes of a comeback.
