Fans convinced Premier League is ‘corrupt’ as Jack Grealish gets away with shove ‘Casemiro would’ve gotten a red for’
FANS have been left convinced that the Premier League is “corrupt” after Jack Grealish received no reprimand for a shove.
Shortly before half-time with the visitors leading 1-0, Manchester United‘s Sofyan Amrabat bumped heads with Manchester City‘s Phil Foden.

The pair squared up and had some verbals as the tension in Old Trafford rose.
Grealish, 28, then headed over to back up his team-mate.
But as he arrived on the scene, Grealish then put his hand on Amrabat’s chest and violently pushed him away.
The incident occurred right in front of referee Paul Tierney.
However, he decided no punishment was forthcoming for the former Aston Villa star.
Instead he gave Amrabat and Foden yellow cards for the parts they played in the incident.
Reacting to the clash on social media, however, fans were left disgruntled over the decision and claimed if it the other way around a harsh sentence would have been dished out.
One fan said: “Grealish hits Amrabat in the chest right INFRONT of the referee, and NOTHING was given. Casemiro would’ve received jail time for this.”

A second said: “Casemiro would’ve gotten a red for that.”
A third claimed: “The system is so corrupt.”
A fourth wrote: “@FA_PGMOL retrospective action for Grealish hitting Amrabat in the chest?? No!”
Another said: “He was literally the most out of order player in the clip yet Amrabat and foden get the card? Refereeing makes no sense, I’m losing love for this game every week.”
A sixth declared: “If it was our player… 10 match ban!”
Involved party Foden scored Man City’s third goal of the afternoon as Pep Guardiola‘s side romped to an easy 3-0 win.
Erling Haaland teed up Foden for his goal, but got on the scoresheet twice himself.
The result means Man United have now lost as many home games since Sir Alex Ferguson‘s retirement as they did under him.
The Red Devils played 405 home games under Ferguson and played 196 games since, losing 34 in both time frames.
City dominated much of the proceedings in the match
