EPL: FA told to ban Bruno Fernandes for five games
The English FA has been told to hand Bruno Fernandes at least a five match ban for pushing the lineman during Manchester United’s 7-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
Ref Support UK wants the Portuguese to serve a five-game ban for his action.
Fernandes tangled with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold before shoving linesman Adam Nunn in the back.
