Man City star Joao Cancelo shown red card and gives away penalty before heated exchange with Pep Guardiola vs Fulham

Published on November 05, 2022 at 08:00 PM

MANCHESTER CITY full-back Joao Cancelo gave away a penalty and was sent off before having a heated exchange with manager Pep Guardiola during their clash with Fulham.

After Julian Alvarez had given the champions the lead at the Etihad, Cancelo pushed Harry Wilson in the back when the Cottagers forward was through on goal.

Wilson went down after contact from Cancelo inside the penalty areaCancelo was sent off for pushing over WilsonGuardiola grabbed hold of Cancelo as he made his way off the pitchReferee Darren England pointed straight to the spot and subsequently dismissed the Portuguese defender.

Man City were left raging at the decision as Fulham‘s Andreas Pereira tucked away the penalty to level things up.

And Guardiola appeared to have a furious altercation with Cancelo as the City man made his way off the pitch.

Speaking about the incident on BBC’s Final Score, ex-Man City defender Nedum Onuoha said: “In this instance, I think it was a great run by Wilson.

“As he took the ball and he went across Cancelo, he was left in a position where he can’t get out of the way and [it] was a big collision.

“I don’t think he intended to do it. At the same breath, he’s gone down and it’s a foul.

“It’s in the penalty box. He was in the wrong spot and got caught out.”;

Cancelo’s dismissal and Fulham’s resulting equaliser was a major blow to Man City as they look to hunt down Premier League leaders Arsenal.
