Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria sent off for grabbing referee Michael Oliver

Angel Di Maria has been sent off for Manchester United in their FA Cup tie with Arsenal - for grabbing the shirt of referee Michael Oliver.

The Argentine was booked for diving as the game entered its final stages, and tugged at the referee's shirts in retaliation of the decision.

Di Maria's team-mate Adnan Januzaj was also shown a yellow card for simulation in the last five minutes when he went down looking for a penalty.

In the words of Alan Shearer: "It's stupid. You just can't do it and he deserved a red card."

Former United striker Danny Welbeck gave the Gunners a 2-1 lead, after Nacho Monreal and Wayne Rooney struck in the first half.

The draw for the semi-finals of the FA Cup follows the match.
