The decision was deemed not to be a clear error, and the claim of excessive punishment was also dismissed, with the FA stating that hair pulling “is not to be tolerated and should be discouraged.”

Analysis Summary
Manchester United's appeal of Lisandro Martínez's red card for hair-pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin was rejected by the FA, who upheld both the card and the three-match suspension. The FA determined the incident was violent conduct and that hair pulling is conduct that should be discouraged. One complicating detail: a similar hair-pull incident in the Premier League earlier this season went unpunished, raising questions about consistency in enforcement.
