Danny Drinkwater Given Red Card vs. Manchester United: Latest Details, Reaction

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater was sent off for a second bookable offence during the Foxes' 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Sunday. 

Drinkwater pulled back Memphis Depay in the dying minutes of the contest when he was already on a yellow card, and Sky Sports Football wondered whether the visitors should have been more severely punished for the incident:

As Sky Sports News HQ noted, Drinkwater will face no further action after his dismissal, meaning he'll serve a standard, one-game ban.

The draw means Leicester still haven't won the Premier League title, but the Foxes will be able to celebrate if Tottenham Hotspur don't beat Chelsea on Monday.  

Per Sky Sports Statto, it was Drinkwater's first-ever sending-off in his career.

Duncan Castles of the Sunday Times thought Leicester were unlucky the hosts weren't punished for a similar offence earlier in the contest:

The 26-year-old had played an excellent match up until that point, providing the assist for Wes Morgan's equaliser and making several key blocks around his own box.

If Tottenham beat Chelsea on Monday, the gap at the top of the standings will go back down to five points.

The Foxes' next match will be against Everton at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, a contest Drinkwater will be suspended for. Star forward Jamie Vardy will return from his suspension, however. Wales international Andy King will likely replace Drinkwater in the starting XI.
