Manchester: Phil Foden was sent off in the first half of the Manchester derby in the Premier League on Sunday for a two-footed kick out on Bruno Fernandes.
The Manchester City forward was shown a straight red in the 23rd minute at Old Trafford when the score was 0-0.
Foden went down under the challenge of Fernandes by the touchline and then kicked out, sending the Manchester United captain to the ground in pain. Referee Michael Oliver immediately brandished the red to the shock of Foden and City's players, who remonstrated over the decision.
Players argued on the field, with City coach Enzo Maresca looking perplexed on the sidelines.
Foden eventually left the field to the sound of chanting United fans.
This was the 199th Manchester derby and Maresca's first since taking over from Pep Guardiola.
