Manchester City’s mild mannered captain Vincent Kompany received a straight red for pulling back Hull’s Nikica Jelavic.
The Belgian defender felt the referee had missed Jelavic impeding him so took matters into his own hands.
City went down to ten men but still managed to win 2-0 and recorded a huge three points that put them right back in pole position for the league title.
Despite sitting in fourth City are still favourites for the title and have three games in hand – yet now have to play with Martin Demichelis and Joleon Lescott at the back.
