​Evra slams Leeds defender Alioski over Pepe red-card: Deserves an Oscar! | OneFootball

Manchester United legend Patrice Evra says Ezgjan Alioski deserves an Oscar for his performance against Arsenal.

The Gunners went down to ten men when Nicholas Pepe was judged to have head butted Alioski.

VAR was called on, and the referee eventually decided to show a red card. But Evra believes the Leeds player's overreaction brought about the decision.

He said on Sky Sports: "When you do that it is a frustration. It is a silly. I think he [Pepe] should say sorry to all his team-mates because Arsenal had a plan and of course everything changed.

"Alioski deserves an Oscar. He played so well, if I was the Leeds coach I would be so happy with Alioski but come on, he looked like he broke his nose. But really silly from Pepe.

"You are not playing a lot and Arteta gave you a chance, so do not cry when you play the next game

"I saw him playing in France, he was happy, he was smiling. You can see, the price tag, the fans are against him . . .what a good player but I am really disappointed. I always protect him but I cannot defend him."
