After Bruno Fernandes was booked for launching his boot in anger then Diogo Dalot saw red for a second yellow, the Red Devils were furious when Andy Madley awarded Arsenal a penalty.

Kai Havertz went down softly after a tussle with Harry Maguire in the area with 20 minutes to go.

The defender put his arm out as Havertz tried to wriggle through before the Arsenal attacker took a tumble and Madley controversially pointed to the spot.

With no VAR to check the incident, the decision could not be overruled.

And then the two teams got into a major scrap.

Raging Maguire was clearly apoplectic with Havertz going down so easily and went after him as the melee unfolded – with some viewers convinced he called the German a “cheat”.

But as the former United captain tried to remonstrate with Havertz, Gabriel got involved and shoved Maguire.

Havertz and Manuel Ugarte then clashed.

The pair both ended up on the deck in chaotic scenes with replays showing the Uruguayan seemingly putting his head forward into his opponent.

Madley kept tabs on the chaos and eventually booked Maguire, Gabriel and Havertz in the aftermath.

There was more drama when the game finally got back underway as Altay Bayindir flung himself across to save Martin Odegaard’s penalty.

In the first half, Fernandes risked his fourth red card of the season when he hurled his boot twice when Madley didn’t award a free-kick despite being clipped by Gabriel Jesus on the edge of the area.

He did receive a yellow but crucially stayed on the pitch – and was on hand to fire home the opening goal in style.

But the game swung when Dalot dived in on Mikel Merino to get his marching orders because just two minutes later, Gabriel equalised.
