Final ruling made by Premier League regarding disputed red card given to Bruno Fernandes.
Last weekend, Bruno Fernandes was sent off during Manchester United's match against Tottenham. However, in a surprising turn of events, his red card has been overturned on appeal and he will be available for the team's next game. This news comes as a relief to United fans, who were disappointed by their team's 3-0 loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford.

During the game, Fernandes, who is also the captain of United, was shown a straight red card for a challenge on James Maddison in the first half. He immediately pleaded his case with referee Chris Kavanagh, but the decision was upheld after a check by VAR officials. It seemed like a harsh call, as Fernandes appeared to slip while going in for the challenge.

Thankfully, United's appeal was successful and the Football Association released a statement stating that Fernandes will be available for the next three games. This means he will be able to play in their upcoming Premier League fixture against Aston Villa. Fernandes expressed his relief at the decision, stating that even Maddison himself believed it was a foul but not worthy of a red card.

According to Fernandes, his challenge on Maddison was simply a result of slipping and he did not intentionally use his studs. He believes that if this was a red card, then there are many other incidents on the field that should also be looked at. He also questioned why VAR did not call the referee to the screen to review the decision.

If the suspension had been upheld, Fernandes would have missed crucial league games against Brentford and West Ham after the international break. This would have been a major blow for United, who are already under pressure due to their recent performances. The successful appeal has given a much-needed boost to United's boss, Erik ten Hag, who has been facing calls for his sacking.

In the world of football, decisions like these can have a huge impact on a team's performance and morale. It's a relief to see that in this case, justice was served and Fernandes will be able to continue playing for his team. With his talent and leadership, he is a key player for Manchester United and his availability for the next game will surely be a positive factor in their quest for success.
