28 min Here’s what happened with the Foden red card.
Fernandes shoved Foden over from behind near the touchline.
As Foden fell, Fernandes had a short kick at the loose ball but instead caught Foden. (The alternative interpretation is Fernandes knew full well he was going to catch Foden and used the location of the ball as an excuse.)
Foden rolled backwards and pushed his studs into Fernandes’s stomach. It wasn’t especially violent, but by the laws of the game it constitutes violent conduct.
Them's the rules Phil. You knew it.
25 min Foden doesn’t want to leave the field and is eventually told to do one by a hard-faced Erling Haaland.
Fernandes definitely had a kick at Foden and it’s a surprise he wasn’t booked. Foden’s response was instinctive, unwise and a clear red card.
I agree with Guardian there. That was stupid, Phil. Jesus Christ.

VAR are checking this. Fernandes had a little kick at Foden, though in theory he was going for the ball. Foden rolled over and then shoved his studs into Fernandes’s stomach. Good luck getting away with that.
