Man City midfielder Toure apologises for red card

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has apologised for his dismissal in their Champions League defeat to CSKA Moscow.

Toure was the second City player to be sent off on a dismal night at the Etihad, following Fernandinho's earlier dismissal.

The Ivorian had hauled Manuel Pellegrini's side level with a stunning free kick but Seydou Doumbia's second goal earned the Russian visitors all three points.

Toure tweeted: "City fans - I am sorry for my red card. I feel it is important to apologise for this."
