Manchester United supporters erupted online after Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo escaped a red card for appearing to put his hand around Diogo Dalot’s throat during a heated confrontation, with VAR and the on-field referee settling on a yellow despite furious protests. The flashpoint came with the score at 1-1 as players from both sides piled in and Bruno Fernandes intervened, prompting claims of double standards from United fans on social media, who labelled the decision “pathetic” and argued similar incidents had previously brought dismissals.
