Man United captain Bruno Fernandes’ red card against Tottenham is OVERTURNED after successful claim of wrongful dismissal

Bruno Fernandes will not serve a suspension for his dismissal in Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat by Tottenham after a successful appeal. 

The Red Devils skipper was shown a straight red card for a high tackle on James Maddison in the 41st minute of Erik ten Hag’s side’s dismal showing at Old Trafford. 

However, replays indicated that the midfielder had not made contact with Maddison with his studs, while his challenge was not as high up on the leg of the Englishman as first thought. 

Despite VAR reviewing the incident, the decision was taken to stick with the call made by referee Chris Kavanagh. More to follow.
