We’ve seen fireworks in last night’s duel between Fiorentina and AC Milan – three goals, three missed penalties, six yellow and two red cards, “resurrected” David de Gea, and Viola’s 2-1 victory. But one man in the Rossoneri’s ranks couldn’t catch a break – Theo Hernandez.🇫🇷🔴Theo Hernandez vs Fiorentina:• Missed penalty• Conceded a penalty • Assist for Pulisic• Red card after the final whistle pic.twitter.com/f97TjyTzxz— Italian Football TV (@IFTVofficial) October 6, 2024 Namely, the Frenchman gave a nightmarish performance yesterday, on the day of his 27th birthday. First, he made a foul on Fiorentina’s Dodo in the 18th minute for a penalty, only to be saved by his fellow countryman Mike Maignan, who stopped Moise Kean’s attempt from the spot. However, that was only the beginning of Theo’s agony…De Gea shines as Fonseca blasts his players for a penalty circus they madeIn the first-half added time, AC Milan were awarded a penalty and – even though Paulo Fonseca claimed Christian Pulisic was to be the taker – Hernandez grabbed the ball and failed to beat De Gea. Light at the end of the tunnel was his 60th-minute assist for the American’s equalizer, but that light soon plunged into darkness again.Theo Hernández receives a red card #FiorentinaMilan pic.twitter.com/hC69m4gIg3— Football24/7 (@foet247europa) October 6, 2024 Fiorentina’s Albert Gudmundsson netted the winner for Fiorentina in the 73rd minute, while Hernandez started a quarrel with the referee Luca Pairetto after his last whistle, eventually being sent off. Now, he’s in for a multiple-game suspension for insulting the official. Definitely a birthday the Frenchman won’t remember fondly.##NAJAVA_MECA_8392223##
