Phil Foden is sent off during the Manchester derby after an on-field clash involving Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes. In the aftermath, Roy Keane publicly questions how the incident is handled, saying the actions of Fernandes should have drawn attention from officials.
According to Keane’s comments reported by different outlets, he believes Fernandes should have been booked for the tackle or contact with Foden before any reaction by the City player. He frames the incident as one where the “violent” aspect of Fernandes’ role warrants a card, with Foden ultimately receiving a red card after the escalation. The two reports emphasize Keane’s view that the key moment is Fernandes’ involvement rather than the later reaction that leads to Foden’s dismissal. Both outlets describe Keane’s stance as direct and critical, arguing it needs to be “called out” or properly assessed in the match context.
