Antony escapes red card after lashing out at Jeremy Doku just minutes afer being subbed on for Man Utd
ANTONY escaped a red card after after an amazing clash with Jeremy Doku – just moments after the Manchester United winger came on in Sunday’s 3-0 thumping against neighbours City.
Fans reckon the Red Devils “lost their heads” late on, with Bruno Fernandes and “embarrassing” Antony both booked for angry exchanges with Doku.

But it was the Brazilian’s confrontation that most stunned viewers.
United’s home humiliation had long been confirmed by Phil Foden’s strike on 80 minutes, following a double from Erling Haaland.
And it was deep in stoppage time when Antony launched into an astonishing series of niggles with in-form midfielder Doku.
The former Ajax star had already swung out twice with his boot as the Belgian weaved in from the left.
City were awarded a free-kick but Antony still squabbled with Doku – before whipping an arm up towards him.
However, after a VAR check, the wideman still walked away with just a yellow card.
One fan reckoned Antony was simply fed up with Doku’s mini exhibition of fancy footwork.
He posted: “Doku showing Antony how to dribble like an actual winger, you can almost taste his tears.”
