The red card given to Man United captain Bruno Fernandes against Tottenham is overturned following a successful wrongful dismissal claim.
After Manchester United won an appeal against Bruno Fernandes’ sending-off after Sunday’s loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford, the player’s three-match ban has been cancelled. Referee Chris showed Fernandes a straight red card for the first time in his United career for a challenge on James shortly before halftime. Fernandes looked to stumble as he made the challenge, but VAR backed the ruling.
The Portugal player was scheduled to miss United’s matches against Brentford, Aston Vill⊂a, and West Ham; however, the FA announced on Tuesday night that the appeal has been upheld.
“After a successful wrongful dismissal claim, Bruno Fernandes will be available for Manchester United’s next three games,” a statement stated.On Sunday, September 29, in the Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur, the midfield player was sent off for serious foul play.
Fernandes, who will captain United against FC Porto on Thursday when he returns to his hometown, objected to Kavanagh at the time and stated that Maddison supported him. “In my opinion, it was never a red card,” Fernandes stated. The official attempted to explain to me that he observed a distinct touch with the studs. No. I didn’t contact him with the studs or even the foot, it was my ankle.
