Fans fuming as Man Utd star Antony escapes red card for ‘kicking’ Mac Allister before picking fight with Lewis Dunk
ANTONY sparked fury as the Manchester United hothead escaped red for “kicking” Alexis Ma Allister and squaring up to Lewis Dunk in the heated aftermath.
Brighton and many fans couldn’t believe the Brazilian was only booked in the clash – and must have felt justice was served by Mac Allister’s 99th-minute penalty winner in Thursday’s dramatic Premier League clash.

The winger lashed out towards Mac Allister even though the ball had gone.
Then when Dunk angrily confronted him Antony swapped body bumps with the strapping centre-back.
Many observers believed the kick deserved a straight red – whilst many more claimed each incident merited separate yellows.
One said: “100%. He was looking for it from the start of the clip from his body language . Seen red. And then got shown it.
Another posted: “I immediately thought red.”
And this message spoke for many: “Easily could of got a red card for the kick out then the reaction after.”
Similarly: “If it’s not a straight red there’s two yellows there.”
But other viewers reckon Antony was hard done by due to the angry response from home players.

And another went even further, claiming the incident would not have happened if the Red Devils‘ attacking starlet had been given a free-kick seconds earlier.
He wrote: “Ref’s to blame, nailed on foul on Antony in first place… all handbags.”
