Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini was back at it again at the Goodison Park, the venue of his former club Everton FC. The Belgian came in as a substitute late into the second half with Man Utd leading the Toffees by a solitary goal in their Premier League tie.
But the ex-Everton midfielder did what he does best lately – creating fouls. He gave away a penalty inside the box less than two minutes after stepping onto the pitch on his 100th appearance for Man Utd, and the result was an equalizer for Ronald Koeman’s men.

And as expected, the incident created sharp reactions and criticism not only around the Man Utd quarters, but in the football world in general.
