They said âđđđđđ đđđ đđđđđâ when Lisandro MartĂnez was sent off for the slightest contact with Calvert-Lewinâs hair.
If thatâs the case, then why werenât the following incidents punished in the same way?
1. Brentfordâs Dango Ouattara pulling Calvin Basseyâs hair against Fulham
2. Evertonâs Ndiaye brushing Dominik Szoboszlaiâs hair, similar to MartĂnez
3. Arsenalâs Gabriel pulling Erling Haalandâs hair
Both Gabriel and Ouattara appeared to use more force and intent.
Whatâs even more surprising â the same referee officiated the MartĂnez and Ouattara incidents, while the same VAR was involved in both the MartĂnez and Gabriel decisions.
