Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has petitioned the FA to overturn the second yellow card that was given to teammate Amad Diallo during Sunday’s FA Cup match against Liverpool.
Recall that United defeated Liverpool 4-3 in the FA Cup quarterfinals, with the young Ivory Coast player scoring the game’s winning goal.
Diallo received a second booking and a red card after taking off his shirt during the celebration of his 120th-minute victory.
“This moment has to be enjoyed and I think it’s one of the rules football has to change,” Fernandes said post-game.
“Because you should be able to celebrate the goal, obviously with respect to other clubs, to enjoy your moment
“The thing with Amad, he got his reward because he’s doing the right things. When you do the right things, you get a chance, and what is yours comes to you.
