Bent’s veridict on Maguire’s challenge on Fulham midfielder

Former Tottenham Hotspur player, Darren Bent has reacted to the game between Man Utd and Fulham on Saturday in the Premier League.

Bent in a statement gave his judgment on Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire’s challenge on Fulham midfielder, Sasa Lukic.

Maguire placed his studs on the ankle of Lukic in the first half but escaped with only a booking.

Speaking on punditry duty for Optus Sport, Bent said: “Seeing it on the replay, probably a red.

“I think he is so late and rash. You talk about endangering an opponent, if you look at his ankle there, Lukic, he is fortunate he did not get a nasty injury.

“For me, yeah, it is a red. Looking at that last replay it is a red.”

Meanwhile, the match, however, ended in a 2-1 win for Fulham, thanks to goals from Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi.
