Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch was sent off during their 5-2 defeat to Brentford.

Marsch lost his cool on the touchline as Leeds appealed for a penalty. Crysencio Summerville appeared to be pulled back in the area before hitting the deck, but the official waved away the Whites' appeals.

He later said, "Yeah, I mean, I was calm even when Brentford was given the penalty, even though I didn't see it right away. Normally when the phrasing and verbiage is 'clear and obvious', and it takes that long to watch it and look at it and it's not so clear then normally for me it's not clear and obvious and then when I see it after the halftime I don't believe it's a penalty and if it is it's an incredibly soft one.

"I was told by the referee committee and by the league in our managers' meeting before the season started that the threshold for penalties was going to go up. So that was not for me represented by that decision.

"Then in an action where I think Crysencio Summerville is actually more of an egregious foul and it doesn't even get looked at for VAR. Yeah, clearly dissatisfied. So I got to figure out how to have discussions with the league or with referees or something to help understand, you know how some decisions get made."
