Overview
- Antony did not play in the Seville derby because he was serving a suspension from a VAR-upgraded straight red card against Girona on November 23.
- Footage from the stands shows him shouting and gesturing toward Sevilla fans, who responded by throwing bottles and other objects at his executive box.
- Referee Jose Luis Mubuera Montero suspended the match for about 15 minutes after projectiles were thrown onto the pitch.
- Real Betis won 2-0 through goals from Pablo Fornals and Sergi Altimira, while Sevilla’s Isaac Romero was sent off for a late challenge on Valentin Gomez.
- After a difficult Manchester United spell, Antony has revived his form at Betis following a permanent move of around £21.5m, and he was recently reviewed by VAR for an apparent Europa League headbutt but received no punishment.
