Antony produces insane assist before getting sent off but fans want it overturned immediately

Manchester United loanee Antony produced an incredible assist during Real Betis' 2-1 win over Getafe on Sunday - before later getting sent off.

The Brazilian winger had scored three goals in four matches for Betis since arriving on loan from United ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash.

He was again involved in the action in sensational style, winning the ball in his own half before holding off one defender, dribbling past another and cutting inside before a pass to goalscorer Isco to finish from close range.

It continued a dream start to life in Spain for Antony, who was desperately short on confidence following a difficult last 18 months in Manchester.

But the Brazilian would be involved in late drama after being shown a straight red card in second half stoppage time.

Antony produced a late sliding challenge on Getafe's Juan Iglesias, catching the Spanish defender on the heel.

While the challenge itself did not look particularly dangerous, Antony was nowhere near the ball, with the foul serving to waste extra time for Betis as they defended their 2-1 advantage.

The referee pulled out the straight red card, much to the disappointment of Antony.

He will now miss Betis' next match, which sees them take on Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

But some fans have argued that his red card decision should be overturned by the Spanish FA.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Antony was unfairly sent off. It was not a straight red."

Another said: "Antony red card... is never a red! It's a yellow card."

A third opined: "They gave a straight red card to Antony for this contact. The leg was not stretched at all and Antony barely hit the defender (with the top instead of the studs of his boot)."

Former Real Madrid star Isco echoed those thoughts, telling RTV Betis after the game: "Let's see if Antony's expulsion can be reviewed.

"Hopefully we can appeal and they don't sanction him. Let's see."

But other fans thought differently, with one claiming: "Antony himself knew it was a red card and even apologised."

And a second simply wrote: "Ridiculous tackle."
