Manchester City forward Phil Foden was shown a straight red card in the 23rd minute of the Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. The dismissal occurred following an altercation with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes near the touchline. After being challenged by Fernandes, Foden, who was on the ground, kicked out at the midfielder with both feet, making contact with his midsection. Referee Michael Oliver issued the red card after a VAR review confirmed the incident. Fernandes faced no disciplinary action for his involvement in the sequence.
