(Video) Watch as Bruno Fernandes petulantly refuses to let go of the ball after Mo Salah scores at Old Trafford

Posted by

Mo Salah managed to try and get Liverpool a route back into the game by scoring against Manchester United but Bruno Fernandes responded with some trademark childish behaviour.

Having spent most of the game rolling around on the floor and whining to the officials and his opponents, the Portuguese midfielder continued to be embarrassing when he refused to let go of the ball.

Our No.11 attempted to retrieve the ball from the net and carry it to the half-way line but the former Sporting Lisbon man battled to keep hold of it, even when Luis Diaz and Bobby Firmino also tried to retrieve it.

Having already been booked, it was strange to see the referee side with the Manchester man and hold off our players too.

Surely this was a blatant yellow card for time wasting but somehow it was ignored.

  1. This is not strange as every time Mr. Oliver has refereed this fixture, LFC have not won. Fernandez should have been sent off but the closet MUFC Ref chose to ignore his petulant behaviour. I guarantee if that had been an LFC player cards would have been flashed.

  2. Not a fan of either team. Two points that for some reason have been ignored.
    One, I agree with you guys, that was a yellow and he should have walked.
    Two, no way the second goal was onside!
