Manchester United went down to ten men at the end of today’s game against Chelsea after this foul from Rafael

By Adrian Collins

This game had been anything but entertaining up until the last five mnutes, when a goal and a red card livened up proceedings.

Juan Mata eventually bundled a ball over the line for a goal late in the game but the real talking point will be the sending off.

David Luiz and Rafael are both chasing a ball down into the corner, and having just conceded, Rafael is a little bit frustrated and takes it out on David Luiz.

Howard Webb produces the red, but there will be plenty of talk about David Luiz’s reaction, which you can see at the end. As he lies on the ground, he smiles at the fans in the corner, which is certain to cause a few United fans to have a complaint with the sending off.
