Kitson Deserved Red Says Evra

Manchester United’s Patrice Evra claimed that Dave Kitson deserved all he got for the tackle he put in on the French international.

Kitso had been on the field less than a minute before seeing a red card for a tackle on Evra. His manager Steve Coppell defended the player saying that he was not dirty, but the tackle did warrant a punishment.

But Evra backed referee Rob Styles and insisted that a red card was the right decision and that a three match ban is the least he deserves.

Evra said: ‘I went to kick the ball and I just saw his foot coming towards me.

‘I don’t understand why he did it. It was very bad. It is the right decision to send him off.’
