Fans have been left furious as Lisandro Martinez escaped any punishment after kicking Patrick Bamford in the face during Manchester United vs. Leeds United.
The Red Devils came from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag's side missed out on moving level with Manchester City in the table.
The visitors took an early through Willy Gnonto, who fired home a low strike past David De Gea in the very first minute of Wednesday's league clash.

Raphael Varane scored an own-goal just after the break, with Man United scoring two goals in the space of eight minutes to draw level.
Marcus Rashford headed home to pull one back before second-half substitute Jadon Sancho scored his first goal since September.
Despite picking up a point on the road, Leeds fans, and others, believe the hosts should have been reduced to 10 men when Martinez kicked out at Bamford.

The Argentinean defender clashed with the striker in first-half stoppage time. The Man United defender tangled with the Englishman and booted his opponent in the face.
He somehow avoided receiving a yellow card, with VAR failing to review the incident.
But Martinez's actions didn't go unnoticed by fans on social media as they reckon he should have sent off.

One Twitter user wrote: "I don’t understand how that is not a red, if that was Bamford doing that to Martinez he would be sent off. Disgusting tbh."
An Arsenal fan tweeted: "You can file that Martinez kick out at Bamford under the 'Granit Xhaka gets sent off for that' catalogue."
A third added: "Lisandro Martinez hit Bamford’s face with the bottom of his shoe - VAR doesn’t exist when the decision is against Manchester United."
A fourth said: "Martinez kicks Bamford in the head and the commentators call it imposing himself this league is so fake man."

Another commented: "Martinez absolutely kicked Bamford in the face and got away with it. Typical nonsense at Old Toilet."
