Sunderland manager, David Moyes, has claimed that the decision to send off Sebastian Larsson, was decisive as his team was hammered 3-0 by Manchester United on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho’s men were already a goal up thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, when Larsson was given his marching orders before half time for a lunge on Ander Herrera.
The home side conceded the second in the first minute of the second half, before Ibrahimovic set us Marcus Rashford for the third goal late in the game.
Moyes’ men have now failed to score in their last seven Premier League games and they are 10 points from safety with seven games to go.
“I don’t want to blame referees for my position and us losing,” Moyes told BBC Sport.
“The result was helped by the referee. Manchester United were playing well but it was a decision that went against us.
“We were hanging in the game and staying in the game and trying to do our best. We gave away a poor goal and I thought we needed to get a lot closer. When we went down to 10 men it made it a lot harder.”
