Before Lisandro Martinez, several other notable players like Cristian Romero and Marouane Fellaini also caused controversy by pulling opponents' hair in the Premier League.

Former defender Jamie Carragher believes Lisandro Martinez's red card during Man Utd's 1-2 loss to Leeds was excessively harsh, as the center-back accidentally pulled an opponent's hair during an aerial challenge.

Manager Michael Carrick used the words "shocking" and "ridiculous" to describe the red card Lisandro Martinez received for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's hair during Manchester United's 1-2 loss to Leeds in round 32 of the premier league on 13/4.
