Bruno Fernandes Sees First Red Card in Manchester United’s 0-3 Defeat to Tottenham

By Score More Sports Staff It was a night to forget for Bruno Fernandes, as the Portuguese international received his first straight red card in his professional career during Manchester United’s 0-3 loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The key moment came in the 42nd minute when Bruno caught Tottenham's James Maddison on the shin with his heel.

At the time of the sending-off, United were already trailing 0-1, with Tottenham taking the lead just three minutes into the mat...
