Bruno Fernandes' Red Card Overturned After Appeal

News summary

PGMOL technical director Howard Webb acknowledged that Bruno Fernandes' red card during Manchester United's defeat to Tottenham was a refereeing mistake. The decision was overturned on appeal as replays showed Fernandes had slipped rather than committing a reckless challenge. Manchester United presented evidence from Sky Sports' 'Ref Watch' to support their appeal, though the independent commission did not consider pundit opinions in their decision. The commission ruled it was an 'obvious error' by referee Chris Kavanagh, finding no malice or excessive force in Fernandes' actions. Despite the controversy, Fernandes was involved in another dismissal shortly after, receiving two bookings in a UEFA Europa League match against Porto.
