Rico Lewis was sent off in Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean believes Rico Lewis was unfortunate to be shown a second yellow in the closing stages of Manchester City's draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The 20-year-old was booked twice in the space of 14 second-half minutes, with the first as a result of dissent towards referee Robert Jones before he was given his marching orders for a foul on Trevoh Chalobah. Referee-turned-pundit Dean had initially agreed with Jones' decision to brandish a second yellow card in Lewis' direction, but with the benefit of hindsight, Dean believes the decision to reduce Manchester City to ten-man was a harsh one.
