As the United captain waited for a spot kick, Cabana accidentally tweaked Fernandez, visibly annoyed before burning the bar at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n<p>It was the fifth penalty the 30-year-old missed in his Premier League career, and contributed to a disappointing afternoon in West London. United found the opener through Rodrigo Muniz&#8217;s late goal, but soon surrendered the lead as substitute Emile Smith Lowe painted the host level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>After full time, Fernandez lowered his failed penalty to his failed penalty, admitting that he had insufficient contact with the ball.<\/p>\n<p>However, he argued that the cause of his misfortune with Cabana was that the judge did not apologise for misleading his preparations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;m upset. Obviously, as a penalty taker, like everyone, you have your own routine. You have your own thing,&#8221; Fernandez told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It upset me because the judge didn&#8217;t apologise, and that was what caused me in that moment. But that&#8217;s not an excuse for missing out on the penalty.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest broken stories and headlines, sign up for the Daily Express MUFC newsletter or join our WhatsApp community here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;I just got a bad hit on the ball, I put my foot under the ball, which is why it ended up going on top of the bar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reuben Amorim also spread the suggestion that Fernandez would have denounced Kabana for a penalty mistake after a 1-1 draw heightened pressure on the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;No. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s used to missing out on penalties.
