Manchester City's Fernandinho sent off for third time in six games

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho is set to serve a four-game ban after being sent off for the third time in his last six appearances in Monday's 2-1 win against Burnley.

Fernandinho was shown a straight red card on 32 minutes for a strong challenge on Burnley midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

The Brazilian, who missed three games after his dismissal in the defeat to Chelsea last month, is now set to serve a four-game ban as it is his second red card in the Premier League.

Fernandinho was also sent off in the Champions League match away to Borussia Monchengladbach in November.
