Despite being bought for his good feet, Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo's skills should have seen him sent off on his debut.

As the £13million Chilean daringly dribbled away from Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a poor touch sent the ball in the direction of Wayne Rooney.

Eager to recover the situation, Bravo steamed towards the ball, lunging in recklessly.

Despite leaving the ground and leading with his studs showing, a touch on the ball proved to be enough to prevent Bravo from getting into trouble with the referee.

Mark Clattenburg's view of the incident could have been obstructed, as he waved play on as Rooney lay on the ground clutching his leg.

Replays showed the extent of the challenge, leaving pundits adamant that he should have seen red on his debut.

Bravo's first game for City has been marred with controversy after a clanger allowed United back into the game.

He rushed out to collect a free-kick in the closing moment of the first half, but flapped at the ball, leaving it at the feet of Ibrahimovic.

The Swede smashed the ball through the crowd to reduce the deficit.
