Sir Alex: Lee Bowyer should have been sent off
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has said Birmingham City's goal hero Lee Bowyer should have been sent off for his first-half challenge on Darron Gibson during the 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.
The United chief fumed: "The Bowyer tackle in the first half, I thought it was a red card. He's gone over the top of the ball."
He added: "Bowyer has been given a yellow card so nothing can be done about it (retrospectively).
"But it's a dangerous tackle."
Ferguson's anger was also not helped when replays suggested Blues striker Nikola Zigic had been guilty of handball and committing a foul in the build-up to Bowyer's point-saving goal.
