After Manchester United’s 3-0 loss against City, Neville was furious at Antony’s behavior.

Antony was “embarrassing” and should have been sent off in Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City, according to Gary Neville. The Brazil international was yellow carded for a cynical tackle on Jeremy Doku, but Neville thought it should have been red.

Antony kicked Doku, who was obviously upset, as United trailed 3-0. Sky Sports co-commentator Neville remarked, “That’s absolutely ridiculous, I’d just send him off. This is ludicrous from Antony. It’s embarrassing.”

The reigning European champions overwhelmed Erik ten Hag and his team, ending a miserable day. Due to the class gap between Manchester neighbors, Pep Guardiola’s team may have won by more.

What happened during the match?

United fans paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton before kickoff, making the occasion emotional for everyone. A minute of applause was observed as “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” boomed through the Red Devils’ historic stadium.

At the start of the afternoon, City had the best start to the season by six points. United were underdogs in this weekend’s derby but started well against Pep Guardiola’s triple champions.

United goalkeeper Andre Onana made the first major stop of the afternoon in the eighth minute. After stopping a Phil Foden header, the Cameroon international saved a tap-in from Erling Haaland.

After Rasmus Hojlund was penalized for a VAR-reviewed foul on Rodri, Haaland put the visitors ahead midway through the first half. Ref Paul Tierney was asked to assess the incident on the pitch-side monitor and pointed to the spot. The home crowd tried to deter Haaland, but City’s prolific number nine calmly sent the ball into Onana’s net.

In the first half, United’s finest chance came at halftime when Scott McTominay, who has been scoring well lately, forced Ederson to save his shot from the edge of the box. Onana saved Haaland from increasing City’s lead moments later, but the Norwegian scored early in the second half from a similar chance.

Bernardo Silva sent the ball to the back post, and Haaland headed home his 47th Premier League goal in 45 appearances. Only another Onana save with 20 minutes left prevented Haaland from scoring a hat-trιck at the Theatre of Dreams.
