Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has strongly contested the penalty decision that led to Maxence Lacroix's red card in Manchester United's 2-1 victory. The French defender was sent off for a foul that resulted in a penalty for the home side, with Glasner stating he does not believe the decision should have been awarded.

Lacroix's dismissal came at a crucial moment in the match, leaving Palace to play with ten men for the remainder of the game. The penalty was successfully converted by Manchester United, giving them the lead in what was already a tightly contested Premier League fixture. Glasner's post-match comments suggest he felt the contact was minimal and the punishment disproportionate to the offense.

The controversial decision ultimately influenced the match outcome, as Palace struggled to maintain their defensive shape with a numerical disadvantage. Manchester United capitalized on their advantage to secure all three points at Old Trafford. The incident has reignited discussions about refereeing consistency in the Premier League this season.
