MANCHESTER, England (AP) — After reigniting hope of an English Premier League title challenge, Manchester United has been left counting the cost of Casemiro’s red card after beating Crystal Palace 2-1. The Brazil international was sent off in the second half for grabbing Palace midfielder Will Hughes by the neck and will serve a three-match ban for violent conduct. United is already without Christian Eriksen for the majority of the rest of the season because of an ankle injury and must cope with the loss of another influential midfielder. Casemiro was sent off in the 70th minute shortly after Marcus Rashford them up 2-0. Jeffrey Schlupp scored for Palace six minutes after Casemiro’s dismissal.
