Michael Owen Critiques Red Card Decision in Derby Match
During the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Sunday, referee Mark Oliver issued a straight red card to Manchester City forward Phil Foden for a retaliatory kick on Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. This incident occurred after Fernandes had kicked Foden.
Former Manchester United player Michael Owen, who was providing punditry for Premier League Productions, condemned the decision as harsh. He expressed that it was an inappropriate call in such a significant match, where emotions run high.
Owen also questioned why Bruno Fernandes did not receive a yellow card for his initial kick on Foden, stating, “How come there’s no yellow for Bruno? He intentionally kicks Foden, I think you should get a yellow card for that.” At the time of reporting, the match score was still 0-0 between the two Manchester rivals.
