Phil Foden sent off early in Man United and Man City clash

Abstract editorial illustration

Manchester City striker Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the first half of the Manchester derby on Sunday for a two-footed kick directed at Phil Foden. The incident occurred in the 23rd minute, with the score locked at 0-0. Foden was shown a straight red card, leaving the pitch in pain as he managed the foul. The red card was met with disbelief from both Foden and City's coaching staff, who vocally protested the decision.

City coach Enzo Maresca appeared puzzled on the sidelines as the match continued without his player. The match, the 199th Manchester derby, marked Maresca's first game since replacing Pep Guardiola.
