Manchester City’s nightmare in the Champions League continued with a shock 2-1 loss at home to CSKA Moscow. To make matters worse for the Citizens, both Yaya Toure and Fernandinho were sent off, and they will miss City’s next crucial tie against Bayern Munich.
The defending Premier League champions are currently bottom of the group with just two points and must win their next game to have a chance at qualifying for the last 16.
Seydou Doumbia grabbed a brace for the Russian club while Toure also got on the scoresheet with a free kick. Sergio Aguero also had two penalty appeals turned down on a frustrating night for Manchester City.

Yaya Toure red card
Toure was then sent off for a foul on Roman Eremenko. While the Moscow midfielder tried to win the ball from the Ivorian, Toure pushed him to the ground in frustration and got his marching orders from the referee.
