Manchester City's Seko Fofana was sent off after a bizarre head-butt in SC Bastia's 1-0 victory over Montpellier on the weekend.
Fofana, who joined Bastia on a season long-loan last summer, reacted after a confrontation with Montpellier's Jonas Martin, by violently head-butting his opponent in the 65th minute.
In what has been a successful spell so far for the Frenchman, having started 19 games across all competitions, his overreaction on the weekend will have no doubt caused Fofana some embarrassment.
The 20-year-old was quick to apologise via Twitter following the match.
Je tiens à m'excuser auprès du club de mes coéquipiers des supporters et bien entendu auprès de Jonas martin pour ce geste dangereux 1/2
