Subsequent reports from USA Today and ESPN added that the dismissal stemmed from a kick directed at Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes. Yahoo Sports expanded coverage by noting commentary from former players, with Rooney offering a surprising verdict on the decision and Neville suggesting that Bruno may have been fortunate. The BBC confirmed the factual occurrence of Foden’s sending‑off without additional detail.
