Ancelotti sees red after VAR drama
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti was sent off after approaching the referee as yet more VAR controversy contributed to a fiery finish in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.
Goalkeeping errors by both United's David De Gea and Everton's Jordan Pickford were central to the outcome at Goodison Park.
But Everton thought they had won the game in stoppage time when a shot from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who had opened the scoring, deflected off United's Harry Maguire and into the net. The goal, however, was ruled out by VAR with the offside Gylfi Sigurdsson, lying in the path of De Gea, deemed to have obstructed the view of the keeper. Ancelotti was sent off after approaching referee Chris Kavanagh on the field after the final whistle and arguing the merits of that decision,
"He sent me off the pitch but then after that I had a long conversation with him that I would like to keep private," Ancelotti told Sky Sports. "I hope not because I did not disrespect the referee, he knows this."
