Maresca: "Bruno Fernandes should also have been sent off"

Enzo Maresca, Manchester City manager, considered the decision to send off Phil Foden in the Manchester derby to be correct, after a challenge on Bruno Fernandes. However, Maresca believes that the Manchester United captain should also have been sent off in the same incident, suggesting that both players deserved a red card. The City manager defended that Bruno Fernandes' challenge was equally dangerous and that the referee should have applied the same standard to both players. This position from Maresca comes as a reaction to Foden's dismissal, which left Manchester City in numerical inferiority during part of the game against their city rivals.
