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.

Jack Grealish then put himself between the two and shoved Amrabat

Referee Paul Tierney decided not to card Grealish for the push
Instead only Amrabat and Foden were punished
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.
Referee Paul Tierney was directly in front of the incident.
He did, however, determine that the former Aston Villa player would not face any consequences.
Rather, he issued yellow cards to Amrabat and Foden for their respective roles in the incident.
However, in response to the altercation on social media, supporters expressed their displeasure with the ruling and asserted that a severe punishment would have been meted out if the decision had gone the other way.

One fan said: “Grealish hits Amrabat in the chest right IN FRONT 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!”
Participant party Man City’s third goal of the afternoon came from Foden as Pep Guardiola’s team easily won 3-0.
Erling Haaland not only assisted Foden in scoring his goal, but he also scored twice.
As a result of the outcome, Man United has now dropped as many home games as they did under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Under Ferguson, the Red Devils played 405 home games and have since played 196, losing 34 of those contests.
