Overview

• Referee Sam Barrott showed Sunderland’s Reinildo a straight red card for violent conduct in the 33rd minute at the Stadium of Light.
• VAR reviewed the incident and confirmed the on-field decision, the Premier League said in a post on X.
• The league’s explanation described the contact on Cash as a clear violent action with his studs.
• Reinildo kicked out while on the ground after a coming-together with Cash, then argued the call before leaving the field.
• Sunderland’s summer signing from Atlético Madrid had played every minute this season prior to the dismissal, and the match was goalless at half-time.
