Premier League Explains Bruno Fernandes’ Red Card After Controversial Spurs Tackle


Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!

The Premier League recently confirmed the reasons behind Bruno Fernandes’ controversial red card during Manchester United’s match against Tottenham.

Fernandes was sent off for a tackle on James Maddison after slipping and making contact with Maddison’s knee.

Referee Chris Kavanagh showed a straight red, a decision upheld by VAR official Peter Bankes, prompting protests from Fernandes and his teammates.

The Premier League Match Centre explained that the red card was issued for serious foul play, as defined by the FA, which includes challenges that endanger an opponent’s safety.

Despite Fernandes’ protest, stating that it was a clear foul but not worthy of a red card, the decision stood.

Fernandes argued that he made contact with his ankle, not his studs, and even claimed Maddison agreed it wasn’t a red card.

Post-match, Gary Neville criticized Fernandes, stating it symbolized United’s poor first-half performance, calling it “one of the worst” under manager Erik ten Hag.

Neville noted that although Fernandes slipped, he went in knee-high and couldn’t escape punishment.

However, Jamie Redknapp disagreed with the red card, suggesting a yellow would have been more appropriate.

He pointed out that Fernandes’ slip was unintentional, and while the challenge was clumsy, it wasn’t overly dangerous.

The incident left United with ten men, compounding their struggles as they fell to a second consecutive 3-0 home defeat.
