In response to his altercation with Gibbs-White, Rodri received a red card.
During Manchester City’s match against Nottingham Forest, Rodri was sent for fighting Morgan Gibbs-White.
Phil Foden and Erling Haaland’s goals at the halftime gave Pep Guardiola’s team the appearance of being in control with a 2-0 lead, but Rodri’s moment of insanity immediately following the break saw City down to 10 men.
At the corner flag, the Spaniard and the Forest midfielder shoved off, and in a fit of rage, the Spaniard grabbed Gibbs-White by the neck.
After a brief VAR review, referee Anthony Taylor gave Rodri his marching orders, which means he will miss City’s crucial encounter against Arsenal in just over two weeks.
Former referee Mike Dean commented on the incident on Sky Sports, saying: “He goes down a bit theatrically, Gibbs-White, but when you see it from another angle when you look he has pushed him in the neck, hence the reason why I think he’s sent him off.”
