Manchester United 1:3 Brighton & Hove Albion

That yellow is a joke. Pulls him down by his head in the box, that's a clear red card

Superunknown · Sunday at 14:25

Brunoooooo! Never in doubt.

This would be against the rules.

Hilarious foul though.

How? It's a blatant foul with no attempt to play ball

kouroux · Sunday at 14:26

Mainoo vs Baleba is a good battle

FrankDrebin · Sunday at 14:26

This ref is on a mission to be king cnut today though.

Not true, he made no attempt to play the ball, so he certainly should have seen red.

Not against us of course.

Dannn411 · Sunday at 14:26

Even with that rugby tackle the ref was still thinking about awarding the penalty. Amazing. And that should be a red card because without the tackle Zirkzee has a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Bruno is so dreamy

Nice pen.

I don’t think they give reds for pens anymore do they unless its excessive force?

It's not a red card if the foul happens during an attempt to play the ball. A professional foul denying a goal scoring opportunity is still a red card

Jumping and grabbing someone’s neck sounds like excessive force.

Hester_manc · Sunday at 14:26

You can almost see the panic in Ugarte, when he has the ball.

dannyrhinos89 · Sunday at 14:26

Zirkee causing issues.

How is that not a red????

He is even think about how to not blow it as a foul, that delay time

Superunknown · Sunday at 14:26

Un-baleba-ble, Jeff.

Why is that?

Because DOGSO does not mean red card if a penalty is given.

There is no excuse for not winning this game! Brighton are in bad shape lately

They'd have a red card VAR check over that in Germany

They would have it in Anfield

Smores · Sunday at 14:26

Need to make sure Amad stays high and attacks their defence now, they'll be nervy.

Very well done by the ref. Penalty but not red as the keeper is off the line + 2 defenders near the goalline. Actually think United have been better in control so far with the brainfart leading to the Brighton goal.

Reported.

Stadjer · Sunday at 14:26

Our striker that was written off by this forum already is playing well so far

The amount of posters that have no idea what the rules of football are is worrying.

It's more of a worry that most referees don't know either

It does, if no attempt to play the ball is made

We could have had about 4 penalties in the last 2 minutes, took long enough to give one. Brighton being way too aggressive, especially on Amad

One of them was a Brighton player not letting Diallo get up in the middle of the Melle in the penalty box. If he had gotten up, Amad could have actually scored.

Heinzesight · Sunday at 14:27

That’s the only way we can get a penalty these days…you have to be clubbed round the back of your head.

Would love to see the penalty shout again we had before that too.

Stan Jefferson said:
That’s a red

Agree its a foul last man and he gives yellow, I thought he wasn't going to give pen at first.

WouterWeghorst · Sunday at 14:27

swooshboy said:
I think it denied a clear goal-scoring chance so should have been red.

Why is it clear cut? He’s with his back towards goal almost + keeper rushing out + 2 defenders close.

What did the uk commentator make of it?

Justified, they're worse than ever recently

laughtersassassin · Sunday at 14:27

I love Amad. Winning the ball back got us that pen!

FrankDrebin · Sunday at 14:27

Neither Bruno or Ugarte had any outlet then . Zirkzee was ridiculously wide left then.

Last man tackle with a clothesline to the back ot the head.

I'm not sure about that.

It's probably a red card in rugby.

Stadjer said:
Yeah i believe that is the rule too. Red card + penalty is considered a double punishment in those situations

Its considered double punishment if there is an attempt to play the ball from the defender. If it is a cynical foul with no attempt to play the ball and a clear goal scoring opportunity, then its still a red and a pen.

Walters_19_MuFc · Sunday at 14:27

Amad winning the ball in the opposition third yet again.

Eugenius · Sunday at 14:27

antk said:
And? This isn't the criteria for a red card.

Yes it is. If it's denial of goalscoring and you're not attempting to play the ball it's a red. If you make a genuine attempt at ball it's a yellow.

You think anyone would have considered that a red card offense if it happend anywhere else on the pitch? I think yellow is fair here
