WATCH: Fernandinho Receives Straight Red For Two-Footed Lunge

Manchester City seek to rebound from their 1-nil defeat to Liverpool on New Year's Eve by entertaining Burnley but things have not got off to a great start.

Following the game just a few days ago, Pep Guardiola rang a few changes including leaving Sergio Aguero on the bench.

And as proceedings got underway, City's captain for the game was brandished a straight red card from Lee Mason.

The Brazilian recklessly lunged in with two feet with a scissor movement on Guðmunds­son.

What's he thinking?!
