Manchester United lost 2-0 to fellow English football club Chelsea, a match in which Argentinian defender Lisandro Martinez was sent off. The dismissal has sparked debate about whether the player has become a liability for the Manchester side.

What the pundits examined

The BBC's Match of the Day programme, which shows football highlights and analysis, devoted a video segment to the question. Pundits Danny Murphy and Stephan Warnock reviewed Martinez's performance in the game and considered whether his conduct on the pitch is a problem for United.

What the source does not say

The source does not state which competition the match belonged to, when or where it was played, who scored, or at what minute the red card was shown. What is confirmed is the scoreline and the fact that Martinez, a United player, was the one dismissed.

In football, a sent-off player must leave the pitch and his team continues with fewer players. How many matches Martinez might miss as a result is not mentioned.

The segment's title asks whether Martinez has become a liability, but the short description does not give a conclusion. It only says the two pundits analysed his display.
