Eric Bailly red card: Pundits discuss Man United star's sending off against Celta Vigo
ERIC BAILLY was one of two players sent off in Manchester United's game with Celta Vigo tonight.
Man United's Bailly sent off during Celta Vigo clash
Manchester United defender Bailly and Celta Vigo's Facundo Sebastian Roncaglia were given straight red cards late on in the Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford.
The game ended in a 1-1 draw and the Red Devils made it through to the final, winning 2-1 on aggregate.
Marouane Fellaini gave the hosts the lead in the first half before Roncaglia scored with four minutes to go to make it a nervy period for Jose Mourinho.
The game lit up soon after the equaliser, with Bailly pushing former Manchester City striker John Guidetti to the floor after an altercation between the two sets of players.
Roncaglia didn't like it what the Ivory Coast international did and his reaction got him sent off as well as Bailly.

Robbie Savage, who was commentating on the game, wasn't happy with Guidetti's role in the incident.
"First and foremost that was pathetic from Guidetti," he said on BT Sport.
"You've got to say Bailly can't raise his hands to Guidetti.
"Guidetti's reaction to go down like that was absolutely pathetic.
"Roncaglia must have said something to Bailly, Bailly reacts. They are both shown a red card."

Former United striker Owen agreed Guidetti's reaction wasn't right, but believes the referee's decision was correct.
"If I was Guidetti I would be feeling a little embarrassed for my actions," he said.
"A lot of people will say 'well he hasn't hurt him' but you can't raise your hands.
"Bailly doesn't react as bad as Guidetti does but I think the referee gets it right, you can't raise your hands. It's his own fault."
United legend Rio Ferdinand says Bailly will be a huge miss in the final for Mourinho's side.

"Bailly will be devastated," he said.
"He will be sitting in the changing room thinking 'what have I done?'.
"He's been the best defender this year. He's been consistent and has been out there more than anyone else.
"He doesn't pick up many injuries and he's going to be a big miss."
United will play Ajax in the final after they went through 5-4 winners against Lyon on aggregate.
Alexandre Lacazette scored twice to help Lyon win 3-1 on the night but it wasn't enough.
