The controversial decision to send off BRUNO FERNANDES for a high lunge on James Maddison made him very angry, and he called it the “wrong decision.”

When things went from bad to worse for Manchester United, they were behind 1-0 to Tottenham.

There were 42 minutes left in the game, and Fernandes seemed to trip while tackling the Spurs player.

It was the Red Devils’ skipper who caught Maddison high on his left leg with his studs.

Referee Chris Kavanagh showed the red card right away, and after a quick VAR check, the ruling was upheld.

Fernandes was given a straight red card, which is the first time in his career that he has been sent off. He was sent off while wearing a Manchester United shirt.

Some people, like Sky Sports commentators Jamie Redknapp, Ashley Young, and Darren Bent, thought it was unfair that he was sent off.

He didn’t deserve to take an early bath, Redknapp said. “No, he slips, his feet go under him.” “I believe it is a yellow card.”

Young also said, “I don’t think it’s serious foul play or careless.”

“Yes, he is out of control, but he slips, I don’t think he goes to take out Maddison.”

Bent replied, “The first time I saw it, I thought it was bad.” But he slips, and it’s more of a temper tantrum than anything else.

“It is a poor decision, a bad one, a poor one.”

The Portuguese midfielder was furious about what he said was the wrong choice after the game.

“Even James Maddison said it wasn’t a red card when he got up,” he told Sky Sports. If this is a red card, we need to look at a lot of other things.

I don’t get why VAR doesn’t call the judge to the screen.

“The red card makes things worse. Thank you to everyone on my team who tried so hard to get back into the game, but it wasn’t possible. They worked hard and had good character, which made me happy.

Fans were also furious about the decision. One said, “This is not a straight red card.” There is a lot to do, but the slip is very clear. He should know better, but this shouldn’t get him in trouble.

“That’s never, ever a red for Bruno Fernandes,” said someone else in a tweet.

This means the player won’t be able to play against Aston Villa, Brentford, or West Ham.

When Dejan Kulusevski scored right after halftime, Man United fell behind by two goals. Their terrible play got even worse after the red card.

Dominic Solanke scored a third goal late in the game to give the away team all three points.
