Premier League managers with five cards this season
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)
First booking
Newcastle (August 25) – shown a yellow card by David Coote in the 94th minute for dissent after a winning goal from Dango Ouattara was disallowed for handball.
“I went to talk to the referee, but I think the referee today could not do much more. He gave a goal. (The VAR officials) didn’t give him the chance to see the images again. What is he going to do? He took the right decision. He dealt quite well with the game, I think. Cannot do much more. It’s obvious he’s not the one that has made a mistake today,” he said.
Second booking
West Ham (August 28) – shown a yellow Enzo Maresca card by Peter Bankes in the 91st minute for dissent after a late Jarrod Bowen winner appeared to come off his elbow.
“It’s even more clear. I don’t know what to say. We are not making these mistakes but we are suffering the consequences, and we are out of the competition because of a mistake. I don’t know what we have to do to change something but obviously it’s costing us a lot. We haven’t won on Sunday. Because of VAR and we are out of the cup because there is no VAR,” he said.
Third booking
Liverpool (September 21) – shown a yellow card by Tony Harrington in the 25th minute for dissent after Luis Diaz’s opening goal.
“I think it was clear what happened, I asked for an offside and for VAR but they think I asked for a yellow card and it wasn’t even a foul for Liverpool. Probably they understand why but they cannot accept any appeal for yellow cards they told me, so I will be upstairs, yes,” he said of his suspension.
Fourth booking
Tottenham (December 8) – shown a yellow Enzo Maresca card by Michael Salisbury in the 30th minute for dissent. After a penalty was not given against Dara O’Shea for a perceived foul on Justin Kluivert.
