Peter Schmeichel berated Manchester United winger Antony for kicking out at Alexis Mac Allister in frustration after not being awarded a free-kick in Thursday's loss to Brighton.
The Brazilian hacked down Mac Allister on 69 minutes after referee Andre Marriner waved away protests when he was felled a few seconds earlier. The kick provoked anger among Brighton players, with Lewis Dunk squaring up to the incensed Antony.
The pair bumped chests before being separated with each receiving a yellow card for the clash and Schmeichel was critical of Antony’s hot-headedness.

Speaking to Premier League Productions the former goalkeeper said: "We had the incident with Antony where he went absolutely berserk and got a yellow card when he stood up to Lewis Dunk.
“That was a clear foul on him and it wasn’t given because it was the line that said we were playing to today and that’s fair enough. It’s a foul and the linesman is only 10 yards away.
“But I don’t like the reaction, this is crazy and he is a lucky, lucky boy staying on the pitch because that’s a red card, there’s no doubt about it. You cannot do that. And then he reacts like this.
“You cannot do that as a Man United player you have to behave yourself. This is revenge, you don’t do that, you cannot do that in a game of football. Erik ten Hag is very disappointed and that even more so than the game being lost with one of his players reacting like that.”
