This is not an accusation, but obviously, all fingers are pointing towards the referee for such a horrible handling of the whistle.
Ruben Amorim’s team were reduced to 10 men, 9 minutes after taking a lead at the Emirates stadium.

The Red Devils did not give in as they held complete-man Arsenal with 10 players at their home for 61 minutes, including extra times, and later won by penalties.
Team Arteta had 26 goal attempts, 12 corner kicks and 25 free kicks, but could not find the back of the net.
Praises have been accorded Manchester United’s Turkish goalie, Altay Bayindir for his immaculate performance in the goal post, denying Arsenal several opportunities, saving two penalties; one during match time and one during the penalty shootout. He was awarded Man of the Match.
The Red Devils defenders were superb; Maguire (later subbed for Yoro), Martinez, Deligt, and Mazraoui.
Their performance in the first half was not brilliant, however, the second half saw them better off, with a splendid goal by Bruno Fernandez off Garnacho’s pass.
