This Bruno Fernandes tackle on the Leeds player deserves a clear RED CARD but because it’s Manchester United, the referee ignored.
Now it gave them an edge for Mbeumo goal and Tielemans assist. Pro Refs needs to improve!!!

Professional poker player Phil Ivey won $9.6 million at the Borgata. The casino paid him, then sued to get it back. At London’s Crockfords, he won another £7.7 million. They refused to pay.
In the video below, Ivey says his job is to play the game, find a weakness in the casino and use it to win. He calls the casino his opponent and points out that it spends millions of dollars protecting its games.
He wanted a specific brand of cards, a Cantonese-speaking dealer and the same decks reused. The casinos agreed. His playing partner, Cheung Yin Sun, asked the dealer to rotate certain cards, presenting it as a matter of luck.
The cards had tiny differences along their backs. Once high-value cards faced one way and the others faced the opposite way, those differences helped identify what was coming next.
Ivey never marked the cards. The dealer handled them. But the casino didn’t understand what those requests were doing to the odds.
He called it an advantage. The casinos called it cheating. In 2017, the UK Supreme Court ruled against him: persuading the dealer to arrange the cards crossed the line.
The casino had approved his requests while expecting to win. Ivey knew something about its own cards that it didn’t.
Was he cheating, or should a casino know its own game before accepting someone’s money?
When Leeds City FC broke the rules against paying players during World War 1, the club were deleted out of existence.
When #LUFC overspent in the late 1990s/early 2000s, Leeds had to sell their best players for peanuts and were docked 25 point on their way to League One.
Today, according to the independent commission, Manchester City have been found to have artificially inflated their revenue by approximately £900 million, all while conspiring to cover their tracks and stop the investigation.
This sort of financial obfuscation implies that they knew the rules down to the penny, conspiring to break those rules with mathematical precision.
How do you find a punishment fit for that level of financial cheating?
The legal repercussions are serious too.
When Burnley sued Everton and won a £35.1 million payout - that set a legal precedent.
Manchester City and their rivals for the years between 2009-2018, will likely be locked in legal battles for years to come.
Or City’s rivals may choose to join together in a group litigation order.
Should Manchester City’s appeal fail, we will likely see one of the largest punishments ever issued to a football club in the modern era.
But it will undoubtedly stop short of the archaic measure employed by the English Football League in 1919, of expunging Leeds City Football Club out of existence.
And the punishment may not even keep Manchester City out of the Premier League for as long as #LUFC were absent during the early 2000s.
But it is difficult to imagine how Manchester City’s honours won during those years be allowed to stand, given the extent of the financial cheating found by the commission.
And given their conduct during the investigation, expulsion from the League would be extremely likely, as a points deduction may not be seen to be enough.
The details of the crimes as laid out by the commission are staggering.
The punishment should be just as staggering.

Mike Dean, the Referee that officiated Man City vs QPR that day:
“Once QPR found out they were safe.. I still can get my head around why they [QPR] kicked the ball straight back. I couldn't get that.”
CITY ARE NEVER GETTING OVER THIS😂😂😂
