Manchester United were condemned to a bitterly disappointing 1–0 defeat on Sunday at Old Trafford thanks to Erling Haaland’s solitary goal for a Manchester City side which played the majority of the match with 10 men.
Phil Foden threatened to dictate the course of this thrilling contest for all the wrong reasons with a brainless kick out at Bruno Fernandes midway through the first half. City’s academy graduate was penalized in a move reminiscent of David Beckham’s infamous red card for England against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup.
