And such was the manner of the victory.
I think that will do them the world of good.
They deserved it.
I think even before the red card, they were by far the better team.
They were 2-0 up at that stage and could have been further clear.
Manchester United were flat.
Leeds were very good.
So great win for them.
Yeah, the red card has again really divided opinion here.
My hunch is this.
I think this probably shines a light more on VAR than the hair pulling incident.
The rules are quite clear.
You pull anyone's hair and it's a straight red card.
So the rules were applied correctly in this incident, but they were only applied correctly because VAR spotted the infringement.
The referee didn't.
Now, with VAR, sadly, it's black and white.
The moment the technology spots it, it's a red card.
But the action was negligible, Tom.
It was such a little brush.
Lissandro Martinez sort of glides his hands through Dominic Calvert-Lewin's ponytail.
