JOHN O’SHEA HAS had an eventful afternoon at Old Trafford today.

In addition to producing a lucky goal-saving clearance, the Sunderland defender appeared to pull back Falcao as United secured a penalty from which Wayne Rooney scored.

Bizarrely though, in what seemed to be a case of mistaken identity, the officials chose to send off fellow centre-back Wes Brown rather than O’Shea following the incident.

O’Shea was a relieved man previously as he narrowly avoided scoring for his former club during the Man United-Sunderland clash today.

A cross was drilled into the box and the Ireland defender stuck a hopeful leg out.

The ball subsequently proceeded to hit the crossbar via O’Shea’s foot, before Sunderland eventually cleared their lines.
