Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot to put United ahead after Alex Jimenez fouled Matheus Cunha, and later assisted an own goal by James Hill to restore a 2-1 lead. Late drama unfolded when Harry Maguire's lunge on Evanilson earned a straight red card and a penalty that leveled the score at 2-2. The big controversy came moments earlier: Hill's two-handed shove on Amad Diallo in the box went unpunished despite United's protests, with VAR ruling no clear error—prompting Carrick to call it baffling and identical to the earlier penalty given. Fernandes hit a milestone with 100 goals and 100 assists for United in just 319 games amid the chaos.

Felix, an Arsenal commentator, posted that strong support from Nigerian fans for the £55 million striker from Sporting CP stems from a 'twisted' machismo linked to misogyny in Nigerian culture, not just his goal-scoring prowess.

Critics called the claim xenophobic and low-IQ, while defenders pointed to his 100+ goals in two Sporting seasons and big-game wins as the real draw. Amid the title race, all agree Gyökeres delivers when Arsenal needs him most.
