Fergie fumes over Bowyer reprive

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Alex Ferguson felt Birmingham goal hero Lee Bowyer should have been sent off for his first-half challenge on Darron Gibson during Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw at St Andrew’s.

Bowyer received a yellow card from referee Lee Mason after a late lunge at Gibson, who was starting his first Barclays Premier League game since April.

Ferguson felt Bowyer, who is 34 next week, should have been given his marching orders and he took advantage of staying on the pitch by scoring a last gasp equaliser.
