Talk about drama! 🎭 Manchester United's talisman Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second time in as many games, as the Red Devils fought out a wild 3-3 draw against Porto in the UEFA Europa League clash last night.
The Portuguese midfielder, playing on familiar turf at Estadio do Dragao, picked up his second yellow card in the 81st minute after a high boot caught defender Nehuen Perez. It was déjà vu for Fernandes, who had just had a three-game suspension overturned after a straight red in the 3-0 loss to Tottenham on September 29.
United fans were on the edge of their seats 😱 as their side, who had stormed to a 2-0 lead within 20 minutes, suddenly found themselves trailing 3-2 and down to ten men. The pressure was mounting on manager Erik ten Hag amidst a rocky start to the season.
But just when all seemed lost, up stepped Harry Maguire! 🦁 The much-discussed defender turned hero, nodding in a clutch header in the first minute of stoppage time to rescue a vital point for United. Cue the celebrations! 🎉
This rollercoaster match leaves plenty to ponder for the Red Devils. Can they regain their composure and turn their season around? One thing's for sure: with games like this, football is never dull! 🌟
