United’s home loss was already a done deal when Phil Foden scored in the 80th minute after Erling Haaland had scored twice.

As the Belgian came in from the left, the former Ajax star had already swung his foot out twice. Even though City got a free kick, Antony still got into a fight with Doku and then raised an arm at him.

Even though VAR looked into it, the wide player only got a yellow card.

One fan thought Antony was just tired of Doku’s little show of fancy dancing.

He wrote: “Doku showing Antony how to dribble like an actual winger, you can almost taste his tears.” Antony is mad that Doku lied to him,” wrote someone else. There is real punishment.”
