EPL: Bruno Fernandes Points Finger at Referee After Penalty Miss

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has blamed referee Chris Kavanagh for his shocking penalty miss against Fulham.

United could have taken the lead in the first half after a handball incident, but Fernandes sent his effort over the bar.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Fernandes said: “I was upset. As a penalty-taker, you have your own routines. It upset me because the referee didn’t apologise. That is what triggered me in that moment but that’s not the excuse for missing the penalty. I had a very bad hit on the ball.”

United went ahead through Leny Yoro, before substitute Emile Smith Rowe equalised for Fulham.
