Not like the usually unflappable Paul Merson to get so worked up.

Wes Brown was sent to the early bath for a foul he didn't commit. The Sunderland defender received a red card on the return to his former stomping/sitting on the bench grounds of Old Trafford. The only problem - and it was a big one - was John O'Shea had actually kicked then pulled Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao back. Over in Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday hub, former Arsenal defender Paul Merson lost his mind. Expect the red card to stand but to be transferred over to O'Shea. Wayne Rooney slotted home the resulting penalty and doubled up with a rebound to seal a 2-0 win for United. Manchester United v Sunderland - Premier League
