Manchester United youngster Andreas Pereira has been in a rich run of form in recent weeks.
The Brazilian, who is currently on loan with Spanish side Granada, scored his third goal in four games in his club's 4-1 victory over Real Betis. But his evening was marred by a soft red card, where it looked like he was the victim rather than the perpetrator. Pereira put his side 3-0 up when he tapped home the rebound after a Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez shot was saved. https://twitter.com/Devils_Related/status/832690727708741632 However, during the second half, the 21-year-old was given his marching orders after a coming-together with Betis player Matías Nahuel, who was also dismissed. It appeared as though Nahuel slapped Pereira, who was guilty of little more than a nudge to the back of the Spain Under-21 man, but referee Daniel Ocón ordered both players to leave the pitch. Granada remain in the bottom three despite the victory, which was their second on the bounce at home.Explore more on these topics:
