Yaya Toure takes to Twitter, tenders apology to Manchester City fans for seeing Red aginst CSKA Moscow

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has apologized to fans of the club for picking up a red card in the 1-2 loss to CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night.

Toure tendered his apology on via his twitter account @YayaToure ''City fans - I am sorry for my red card. I feel it is important to apologise for this''

The 31-year old Ivorian who grabbed the leveler for City was shown the exit while Fernandinho had earlier picked up a second yellow which earned him matching orders.

Frustrating night for City you'll say, they now rock the bottom of the group struggling for a place in the knock-out stage.

Man Utd Captain Wayne Rooney admits wrong, says Ref was right for showing him Red

Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney has apologised to his colleagues and admitted that the Ref was right to have sent him off after the awful challenge on Steward Downing in a game which ended 2-1 in favour of the Reds at the home.

The England forward told reporters that he has apologised to his team mates and appreciated their efforts by ensuring they held on to the lead despite the West Ham onslaught.

"It was probably the right decision," declared Rooney, who also confirmed he will not be appealing the dismissal. "I saw the West Ham player making a counter-attack and I tried to break up the play, but I just misjudged it.

"I didn't absolutely volley the lad. I tried to trip him up and, to be fair to him, he got further away from me and that's why my leg is straighter than it should have been. As he pushed the ball away, my leg straightened out and that is obviously why the referee deemed it as a red card."

On his apologies to the team, he said - "Of course I did. I think everyone knew [I was in the wrong]. It’s always tough against 11 men when you are a man down, especially when they are throwing a lot of balls into the box as West Ham were doing, so I am grateful that we held out."
