MAN UNITED WERE BEATEN 3-0 against Liverpool this afternoon, but they’ll surely feel somewhat lucky that Rafael avoided a red card in the game.

However, there has been recent talk, in the wake of some high-profile incidents, that the concession of a penalty is punishment enough in such circumstances.
