Manchester United fans were furious when Diogo Dalot received a red card against Liverpool and they were even more angry when Darwin Nunez escaped the same punishment minutes later.

Dalot received two yellow cards in a matter of seconds for dissent after he vented his frustration at a decision over the incorrect awarding of a throw-in.

The general consensus was that it was an extremely harsh decision from referee Michael Oliver.

And viewers were left perplexed when Nunez remained on the pitch for a trio of wrongdoings moments later.

The striker booted the ball away after elbowing Jonny Evans and was shown a yellow card for his troubles.

He proceeded to sarcastically applaud referee Oliver but was not punished like Dalot. 

Fans quickly took to social media to compare the two incidents with one tweeting: ‘Nunez booked then sarcastically clapped the decision… no second yellow.’
