Manchester United lost 0-3 at home to Manchester City in a fierce matchup, and although the gap was expected by many fans, the manic behavior of the United players at the end of the game was staggering. In particular, at the end of the game, Anthony Mafioso, who had just come on as a substitute, was shown a yellow card for retaliatory kicking, a scene that even made United's star player, Gary Nievey, say, "It's really embarrassing".
With City leading by 3 goals, the game was all but decided when Shelly Meduku, the "King of Twists", was unexpectedly targeted in the 87th minute. First, Bono Fernandes missed a kick, and then Anthony Mathias started his revenge. He first failed to block the kick, then started to bow and kick, and even swung twice at Shelly Medgu's accusing finger. In his comments, Gary Nievey lamented, "He really went too far! A red card should be shown for this behavior, what's going on with Anthony? It's embarrassing as hell!"
