Newcastle United defeated Manchester United 2-1 in a Premier League match, according to major media. Anthony Gordon scored a penalty to make it 1-0 for Newcastle in the first half, as reported by multiple sources. Casemiro equalized for Manchester United in stoppage time of the first half, according to match reports.

William Osula scored the winning goal for Newcastle in the 90th minute, securing the victory for the home side. Jacob Ramsey was sent off for a second yellow card in the Newcastle vs Manchester United match, according to multiple reports. Before the sending off, Ramsey fell in the penalty area and called for a penalty, as reported by major media, though the exact reason the referee gave for his second yellow card remains unclear.

It's gross stupidity, that. The free kick is bad enough but the sarcastic applause is absolute stupidity.

Many think Ramsey's sending off was harsh, according to major media, and it is unknown whether there was any VAR review for his penalty claim or sending off. Pundits reacted strongly to the incident. According to Expressen Sport, Fredrik Ljungberg described the sending off as directly incorrect.

In another disciplinary moment, Joelinton received a yellow card for pulling back Matheus Cunha's shirt, and Sandro Tonali intervened to prevent Joelinton from risking a second yellow card, both reported by major media. Ally McCoist called Joelinton's sarcastic applause 'absolute stupidity', according to Newcastle Chronicle. In a separate match, Christopher McVey was sent off in San Diego's match against Toluca FC on March 23, as reported by major media.

I am on the referees sometimes, but the level varies here and there. I don't think he does any swan dive. In one of the images, it looks like it touches his right foot.

McVey has been sent off in three consecutive matches, according to other sources, though the specific actions that led to these red cards are not detailed. San Diego lost 2-1 to Minnesota United in the match where McVey was sent off, and the team is currently in eighth place in the Western Conference of MLS, both according to other sources. Jeppe Tverskov says the send-offs have been catastrophic for San Diego, and he stated that it has happened far too many times and been catastrophic for the team.

It is unknown how many players have been sent off for San Diego in recent matches or what impact Jacob Ramsey's sending off had on Newcastle's tactical approach in the second half.

I think it's directly incorrect.
