Manchester City 0-0 Manchester United: Marouane Fellaini sees red for headbutt late on as Jose Mourinho's side hold on for a draw in feisty derby

The brains trust strikes again. Two fouls and a headbutt, all in the space of roughly a minute. Remember the old joke about there being no famous Belgians. Well, there are certainly some infamous ones.

What was Marouane Fellaini thinking? No, scratch that. Was he thinking at all? It scarcely seems likely. He had just been booked for a tackle from behind on Sergio Aguero, the first yellow card of the match. The free-kick taken, he continued his run and bundled Aguero over from behind again. It might not have been a second yellow at that stage. Then, when Aguero got up, he lowered his head and butted him.
