Tempers were definitely flaring during Manchester City and Arsenal’s top-of-the-table clash on Sunday.
The visitors had clung onto a 2-1 lead despite being a man down Leandro Trossard received his marching orders.
But even those not involved in the action were starting to fall foul of disciplinary matters at the Etihad Stadium.
Miles Lewis-Skelly became the latest Gunners player to pick up a caution in the second half despite yet to appear on the pitch.
Even more remarkably, the Islington teenager picked up a maiden booking before tasting a single second of senior action.
He was later handed a runout in place of Jurrien Timber just minutes before John Stones bundled home a last-gasp equaliser.
But this definitely wasn’t the ‘first’ that Lewis-Skelly expected to pick up after being drafted into Mikel Arteta’s matchday squad.
