Manchester City were reduced to 10 men in the 22nd minute of Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford when Phil Foden was sent off for kicking out at Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

Foden dismissed after Fernandes clash

1. Fernandes brought Foden down near the touchline during a challenge for possession.
2. The City academy graduate reacted angrily as he tried to rise and appeared to strike out with his foot at the Portuguese midfielder.
3. Fernandes fell to the ground in pain after the contact.
4. The referee had a clear view of the incident and immediately produced a straight red card for Foden.

The early dismissal left City facing the rest of the Manchester derby with a numerical disadvantage, while United gained a major opening at Old Trafford.
