How Man Utd used Sky Sports pundits to overturn controversial Bruno Fernandes' red card against Tottenham

Premier League

<p>United captain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-first-red-card-man-utd-career-reckless-tackle-james-maddison-kobbie-mainoo-limps-off-nightmare-first-half-tottenham/bltaae58f24f5c9b26d" target="_blank">Fernandes was sent off for the first time in his career</a> for a foul on James Maddison during the Red Devils' 3-0 loss against Spurs at Old Trafford. However, the midfielder's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-three-match-ban-spurs-red-card-overturned-man-utd-appeal-wrongful-dismissal/blta2fc0b42038a6094" target="_blank">suspension was overturned on appeal</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Former referee Dermot Gallagher and ex-players Sue Smith and Dean Ashton all criticised the decision to give the midfielder his marching orders on Sky Sports after the game, and the<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13937465/Man-United-Sky-Sports-pundits-Bruno-Fernandes-red-card.html" target="_blank"><em> Daily Mail</em></a> reports United used clips of their analysis as they looked to have the red card rescinded.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United's appeal was successful, but the independent commission reportedly ignored the pundits' views when it came to making their decision. Less than a week later, Fernandes was sent off again as United drew 3-3 with Porto in the Europa League.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Fernandes was back in the United starting XI for their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-aston-villa-erik-ten-hag-jonny-evans/bltcaa1f0ccd12f6dd7" target="_blank">0-0 draw against Aston Villa</a> at the weekend and will likely lead his team out of the tunnel for their clash against Brentford in the Premier League on October 19.</p>
