What happened. Phil Foden was sent off by referee Michael Oliver in the 23rd minute of the Manchester derby after attempting to kick Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Manchester City went on to win 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to a controversial Erling Haaland goal.

• Fernandes escaped punishment despite seemingly kicking Foden moments earlier
• Wayne Rooney and Danny Murphy agreed on the red card verdict on Match of the Day
• City played the vast majority of the match with ten men

Foden's dismissal leaves City to manage without him, while the debate over the decision continues.
