Martinez Red Card Cost Manchester United in 2-0 Defeat at Chelsea
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was condemned for a red card that proved costly in a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, BBC Sport reported.
According to BBC Sport, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was condemned for a red card that proved costly in his side's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
According to BBC Sport's headline, a period of 83 seconds cost Manchester United and Carrick, and the outlet describes that sequence as "inexplicable." The summary does not state Carrick's role at the club, nor does it describe what happened during those 83 seconds.
The summary describes the result as a 2-0 defeat for Manchester United against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but it does not give the goalscorers, the minute of Martinez's dismissal, or the reason the red card was shown.
The summary includes no quotations from Martinez, from Carrick, from Chelsea, or from any match official, and it does not say whether the defender has responded to the criticism directed at him.
The summary identifies Martinez as a Manchester United defender and characterizes the card as having proved costly in the match. Those characterizations come from BBC Sport alone, as no second outlet's report was available for this story.
Because no second source was available, this account cannot be compared with reporting from other outlets, and any differences in detail between outlets cannot be assessed. The account is limited to what the headline and summary state.
This report draws only on the headline and summary of the BBC Sport article. The outlet's account of the sequence of play, the timing of the dismissal, and the reaction at the club is not contained in that material, and readers seeking those details should consult the full BBC Sport report.
