Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has called Luis Sinisterra's red card 'daft and clumsy' after the Colombian was sent off against Aston Villa this afternoon.
Leeds went down to 10 men just three minutes after halftime following Sinisterra sticking his foot out and stopping a Villa free kick after a foul on Jacob Ramsey. The Whites were able to hold on to gain a point, but the result saw them slip down to 12th in the table while Villa move up to 14th with the draw.
Speaking after the match with Sky Sports, Keane gave a brutally honest opinion of the first challenge that saw Sinisterra get booked.

"I mean, look at it, it's the height of stupidity. Giving some daft fouls away here again, it's just clumsy, there's no danger there. There's a time to foul somebody if they're breaking away from you, but there's no danger there."
Keane then described the incident surrounding Sinisterra's second yellow card, saying he thought the referee made the right decision.
"Leeds have always got that fighting spirit, but the players complain about the referee not letting the game have flow but that's down to their own fault.
"Here, he's [Luis Sinisterra] is on a yellow card, back away... and there, look, it's the height of stupidity! I've done daft things on a football pitch but that is really up there - and then they're all complaining, the fans are moaning, and then he asks the referee 'What have I done?'.
"Get down the tunnel! […] Both sets of fans will always get on the referee's back about something but I think here he's got it spot on."
