FIVE Players Who Were Given A Red Card On Their Full Premier League Debut - Part 3

2) Gervinho

Gervinho

Remarkably the first of TWO Arsenal players on this list, the winger managed to get caught up in an unsavoury exchange with notorious troublemaker Joey Barton.

Gervinho had gone to ground too easily in the box, leading Barton to take issue with his ‘dive’. After trying to haul the winger off the floor, the Newcastle midfielder remonstrated with Gervinho before the Gunners star slapped him in the face.
