‘Pathetic and embarrassing’ – Man Utd fans left fuming after Antoine Semenyo escapes red for throat grab on Diogo Dalot
Unsurprisingly, the United online cohort were quick to jump on the incident, demanding an explanation for why Semenyo was not dismissed. One fan, @UTDKara, said: “The premier league is against Manchester United, how’s this not a clear red to Semenyo? Pathetic and embarrassing from the Premier League.”
Another, @UTDFaithfuls, added: “Semenyo didn’t get a red card for this???”, with a picture of the incident attached.
@FreddyQuinne recalled an incident from a few years ago, in which Casemiro was sent off for a similar act of madness. They said: “Remember when Casemiro got a red card for literally exactly what Semenyo just did there.”
User @DigitisedLipstk agreed, posting: “Casemiro can’t grab a player by the collar but Semenyo can grab a player by the throat… ok.”
Finally, @AnnemarieDray was gobsmacked that the Bournemouth man only saw yellow, they said: “I’m sorry and yes I’m biased but I always try to be fair and I’m absolutely stunned that Semenyo has not been sent off. Casemiro would be gone for the season after something like that.”
