Yaya Toure gets his marching orders

London, Nov 6 Fernandinho and Yaya Toure both were sent off as Manchester City suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to the visiting CSKA Moscow in the European Champions League Wednesday.

The pair were both shown a second yellow card in the second half as City stayed at bottom of Group E with only two points from four games, Xinhua reported.

Seydou Doumbia, who played an important role for CSKA in their 2-2 draw in Moscow, scored both goals for the Russian side.

Doumbia put CSKA ahead just after 96 seconds when he headed a Bebras Natcho free-kick from the center of the box to the top right corner.

Five minutes later, Toure levelled the score with an exquisite free-kick from 24 meters.

In the 34th minute, Doumbia received a pass from Nacho again and drove home ruthlessly from the left.
