Overview

• The Premier League said referee Peter Bankes showed Casemiro a second yellow for a holding offence that stopped a promising attack, with no VAR involvement under protocol.
• Because it was a second bookable offence, Manchester United cannot appeal the decision.
• The dismissal triggers an automatic one-match suspension, so Casemiro will miss the trip to Brentford and is set to return for Sunderland on October 4.
• Casemiro had scored United’s second goal before being sent off and became the first United player to score and be dismissed in the first half of a Premier League match, according to Opta/Squawka.
• Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 at Old Trafford.
