WATCH: Joey Barton gets sent off, loses the plot

The controversial midfielder lived up to his reputation at Eastlands today.

IN WHAT WAS an incredible day of football in many ways, the QPR-Man City game in particular provided plenty of drama.

Centre of attention, as usual, was Joey Barton, who got himself sent off for his involvement in an off-the-ball clash with Carlos Tevez.

The controversial midfielder attempted to plead his case with the referee, before kicking Sergio Aguero – an incident that will likely double his suspension period.

Man City ultimately won the game 3-2, winning the Premier League title in the process, while QPR avoided relegation despite losing the game, after Bolton failed to beat Stoke.
