The Premier League clarified that VAR checked and confirmed that the red card for Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, in the game losing to Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 was the correct decision. But Keith Hackett, former referee, disagrees.

“The Red Devils” were playing at home and were shot after 3 minutes. Then at the end of the first half, the team leader, Bruno, clashed with James Maddison. And was shown a red card by Chris Kavanagh, the referee on the field. The VAR room, under Peter Banks, did not reverse the decision.

“After watching it several times, I think Bruno should have only gotten a yellow card.” said Hackett, a former Premier League referee.

“I didn’t see any excessive force or intention to hurt an opponent from Bruno. He was careless and unlucky to slip, but it was not a serious foul. “

“Chris Kavanagh may have made a better decision if he had looked at the screen next to the pitch. But he was in a great position already. So VAR would never see it as a clearly wrong decision to intervene. “

“But looking at the screen next to the pitch to see slow-motion images. From different angles can give us a different decision. This is when VAR should be important. สมัคร ufabet And I would be surprised if the committee decided to ban Bruno for 3 matches.”

However, the official Premier League media explained the background: “VAR considered and confirmed the decision to give Fernandes a red card for the clash with Maddison because the referee on the field considered it a serious foul.”

In the second half, “The Golden Spurs” had more goals and scored two more. In the 61st minute, there was another problematic moment when United accused Cristian Romero of handball, but the referee was indifferent.

“VAR confirmed the decision not to award a penalty because it was considered that Cristian Romero’s arm was in a natural position.” The Premier League stated the reason.
