Gabriel was very smart by headbutting Haaland and not accidentally removing his hair bobble in an aerial duel. By avoiding 'violent conduct' he receives a yellow card rather than a red and three-game suspension. Well done, good process.
Bruno Fernandes was incensed in the 89th minute when he believed Romeo Lavia stamped on him. Michael Oliver ignored him & VAR did not intervene. Turns out he had a point.
Isn't this exactly what violent conduct is, @FA_PGMOL? How was this not acted on?
“Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball.. regardless of whether contact is made.”

We're all a bit confused about the two penalty decisions but worry not, Dermot Gallagher will be in the @SkySportsNews studio on Monday to tell us how both decisions were absolutely spot on by the brilliant Stuart Atwell.
Unsure how the identical foul made by Maguire is a penalty, but the one on Amad isn't. Premier League once again showcasing their best in class officiating.
We were always going to lose eventually under Carrick, but it shouldn’t have been that one.. especially under those circumstances.
Awful performance. Awful.
