Gary Neville has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Leeds United defender Luke Ayling getting a red card against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.
Ayling started for Leeds at right-back in the Premier League game against Arsenal in North London.
The forms Arsenal prospect was sent off in the 27th minute for a dangerous challenge on Gabriel Martinelli.
It was the right decision.
Former Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit Neville believes that losing Ayling for the rest of the season is a massive blow for Leeds in their quest to escape the dreaded drop to the Championship.
Gary Neville on Luke Ayling red card for Leeds v Arsenal
Big blow
In our opinion, Leeds not having Ayling for the rest of the season is a massive blow.
The defender is a very good player who can run all day and has a lot of energy.
Leeds are in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season, and not having Ayling for the final games is a real worry.
Ayling is a senior player, and he should have known better than to make that needless challenge on Arsenal forward Martinelli.
