Tim Sherwood has slammed Jaydee Canvot as an “absolute disgrace” after the Crystal Palace defender celebrated Leeds United‘s Gabriel Gudmundsson being sent off.

Canvot was seen wildly celebrating when referee Tom Bramall belatedly reached into his back pocket after Gudmundsson collected a second booking.

While the big talking point at the time was Bramall seemingly forgetting Gudmundsson had already been booked, footage of Canvot taking delight in a fellow pro being dismissed has since been slammed.

Sherwood has now shared his views on the back of Leeds’ 0-0 draw at Palace on Sunday afternoon, with that point keeping the Whites at arm’s length from relegation danger.

Tim Sherwood ‘annoyed’ by Selhurst Park scenes

Daniel Farke was not happy with Bramall’s decision to dismiss Gudmundsson at Selhurst Park, with Leeds left to effectively hold on for a point for the second half.

Palace lacked any sort of attacking threat, though, and in the end it is hard not to think of it as two points dropped in South London.

Sherwood was asked for his views on the Gudmundsson incident while speaking on Sky Sports News on Monday morning and said: “I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.

“It’s a poor decision in the first place because it’s not a second yellow card for Gudmundsson. If he’d remembered booking him the first time he’d have never sent him off for that.

“The Palace players got around him and said ‘you’ve already given him a yellow’. But to celebrate like that is an absolute disgrace. What are you doing there? It baffled me, it really did.

“Why are you doing that? I just don’t like it. I think it’s disrespectful. If I was a Leeds player, I’d have said ‘grow up mate, what are you doing?’

“What did it actually guarantee you? It didn’t guarantee them anything. They’d have lost the game if Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his penalty anyway. Just concentrate on playing football, all this nonsense has annoyed me.”

As Sherwood said, it is very likely that Bramall would have just given Gudmundsson a talking to had he remembered he had booked him not long beforehand.

Combine that with Calvert-Lewin’s penalty miss and it is clear to see why Farke was frustrated come full-time, even if a point away from home is nothing to be sniffed at.

How long will Gabriel Gudmundsson be suspended for Leeds

Because Gudmundsson was sent off for two yellows, rather than a straight red, he will only serve a one-game ban.

That will come against Brentford at Elland Road next weekend, with that seen as a real chance for United to put some distance between themselves and the bottom three.

With that game preceding a two-week international break, Gudmundsson will not be back in Leeds colours until the FA Cup quarter-final showdown with West Ham on 5 April at the earliest.

It is likely that Farke will turn to James Justin or Jayden Bogle at left-back against Brentford, rather than using Sam Byram.
