Why it matters
Reflects the ongoing discourse regarding officiating standards and player conduct in high-stakes professional sports.
Enzo Maresca believes Bruno Fernandes should have been sent off alongside Phil Foden during Manchester City's 1-0 derby victory over Manchester United.
Foden was shown a red card after kicking out at the United captain, leaving City to play the rest of the game with 10 men.
Maresca accepted the decision to dismiss Foden after immediately reviewing the incident but felt Fernandes' role in the altercation also warranted a red card.
