Chris Kavanagh will remain on Premier League duty despite the controversial decision to send off Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

The official ruled that the Portuguese international displayed serious foul play against Tottenham Hotspur's James Maddison, on the stroke of half-time.

Fernandes came out after the match and disagreed with the decision, as he claimed that the England international also felt that the decision to show a red card was incorrect.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher also revealed that the on-field decision was incorrect describing the incident as an "optical illusion" and a yellow card would have been the correct decision.
