Jamie Carragher delivers a detailed analysis of Phil Foden's red card in the match where Manchester City defeated Manchester United, ending with a powerful closing remark.
On 14 Sep 2026 GMT+7, Jamie Carragher, the legendary Liverpool defender from the English Premier League, offered an in-depth analysis of the moment Phil Foden, the English attacker for Manchester City under Italian coach Enzo Maresca, received a red card in the 1-0 away win against Manchester United, concluding with a striking final statement.
Jamie Carragher spoke about Phil Foden's red card incident against Manchester United: “To be honest, I was very angry seeing that decision. It’s truly shameful for the officiating team. Sending off Phil Foden in such an important match for that reason is an extremely disappointing refereeing performance.”
“What makes this a joke is what happened just before. Bruno Fernandes kicked him while he was lying on the ground, so where was VAR? How did they overlook Bruno Fernandes’s clear emotional misconduct and instead decide that Phil Foden’s reaction warranted a direct red card? It’s a terrible decision. It’s laughable, and the referee must have lost his composure.”
