According to The Sun, former Premier League referee Mark Halsey believes there was no controversy surrounding Foden's straight red card during the Manchester derby, and that Bruno Fernandes was fortunate to escape with just a yellow card.

Foden received a straight red card in the first half of the Manchester derby for kicking Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

Halsey said: "There was a major talking point in the first half of the Manchester derby at Old Trafford when Foden and Bruno Fernandes clashed. Foden has no complaints about the red card shown by Michael Oliver. You can clearly see that while lying on the ground, he clearly kicked Bruno Fernandes in the abdomen, which is a clear red card for violent conduct.

"Bruno Fernandes was reacting to a slight contact on the hip from Foden. It was only a light touch, more of a nuisance than violence. Bruno was lucky not to receive a yellow card. As we know, VAR cannot intervene in yellow card offences. But Foden will now face a three-match ban for violent conduct."
