Southampton’s manager reacts with anger after an ex-Newcastle United player is implicated in a red card that has the potential to change the game. Ryan Fraser, a former winger for Newcastle United,

was dismissed during Southampton’s loss to Leicester City. On Saturday afternoon, as Newcastle United struggled to a 1-0 loss against Brighton, a much more dramatic narrative concerning one of their former players was unfolding on the south coast. Southampton’s pursuit of their inaugural Premier League victory of the season appeared to be concluding when they established a 2-0 advantage over Leicester City, their fellow promoted team. However, the Foxes’ dramatic late recovery, which was initiated by a red card for the hosts, secured all three points for Steve Cooper’s team. Ryan Fraser, a former Magpie, was the unfortunate recipient of the red card that turned the game at St Mary’s on its head. Fraser returned to Southampton following a successful loan stint last season, having departed Newcastle United on deadline day in the summer.

Nevertheless, Fraser’s permanent tenure as a Saints player has not yet achieved the same level of success as his loan stint last season, as evidenced by his red card on Saturday, which marked the lowest point of his adversity-filled season. Fraser was issued a direct red card for inflicting a foul on Jamie Vardy as the former England player advanced toward the goal. Before Jordan Ayew’s stoppage-time winner secured a memorable comeback victory for the Foxes, Vardy made no error from the resulting spot-kick to bring his side level. Russell Martin, the Saints’ manager, expressed his frustration with the team’s loss and the decision to issue Fraser a red card, stating, “I’m just a little bit angry that we lost the game.” I am incensed that we were 2-0 up and ultimately lost by three.He continued, “The game has been completely altered by the sending off.” However, I am confident that the decision made by VAR and the other parties involved is correct, and as a result, I am unable to lodge a complaint. However, it has altered the dynamics for us.“2.”
