Fergie fuming as ‘unfair’ Riley books seven United players

MANCHESTER UNITED last night accused referee Mike Riley of “unfair” treatment of their players after another spiteful and acrimonious visit to Chelsea.

Five months after the infamous ‘Battle of the Bridge’, when United defender Patrice Evra was involved in a bout of fisticuffs with a member of the Londoners’ groundstaff, there was more controversy yesterday as Riley booked seven visiting players — including three for dissent — compared to just one from Chelsea.

“It wasn’t a dirty game,” Ji-Sung Park, the United goalscorer, said.
