Bruno Fernandes Avoids Ban After Successful Appeal Against Red Card
Bruno Fernandes Avoids Ban After Successful Appeal Against Red Card
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will be available for the team's next three Premier League games after the club successfully appealed against his red card in Sunday's loss to Tottenham. Fernandes was sent off for a foul on James Maddison, but United argued that the decision was wrong, and the red card has now been overturned. This news will be greeted with a mixture of relief and frustration by United boss Erik ten Hag, who will be glad to have his captain available but also concerned about how the game might have turned out if Fernandes had remained on the pitch. The incident has also raised questions about the accuracy of VAR decisions in the Premier League.
