Fernandes caught Maddison high up, although it appears he slips and it doesn't seem like there was any malice or intent, but the referee was very quick to brandish the red card. Fernandes made the task for his team that much harder, with Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke piling more misery on United with second half goals.
That's my feeling and even Maddison when he gets up, he said: It is a foul but it's never a red card.' After the game, Fernandes apologized and shared this sentiment, arguing the incident should be classified differently.
United's poor start to the season continued as they were convincingly beaten 3-0 by Spurs at Old Trafford to ramp up the pressure on Erik ten Hag, leaving the team in a troubling 12th place.
Fernandes was sent off in Man United's defeat against Tottenham. His absence will be felt as he now faces a suspension for the next three vital Premier League games.
