Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Carrick gave his verdict on the red card, saying, “It’s not a pull, it’s not a tug, it’s not aggressive, he touches it and gets sent off. Worst of all was that he was sent to overturn it as a clear error. It’s shocking. “That’s two games in a row we’ve had those decisions go against us, but that one was one of the worst I’ve seen.” Don't Miss EPL: Now you can see – Obi Mikel sends clear message to Arsenal fans You may like EPL: Biggest disaster in history – Obi Mikel speaks on Arsenal bottling title EPL: Why Chelsea won’t qualify for Champions League – Neville EPL: Why Man Utd lost 2-1 to Leeds at Old Trafford – Michael Carrick EPL: What Arteta must do for Arsenal to win title – Mikel Obi EPL: Paul Merson rates Man Utd’s chances of winning title next season EPL: Referee for Man City vs Arsenal title clash confirmed
