Manchester City’s Fernandinho has gone off the rails of late, picking up three red cards in a span of six matches.

He’ll now miss the next four matches, but these have been his first red card offences in the Premier League.

Here are the players with the most reds in EPL history…

RICHARD DUNNE

The Irish centre back wasn’t afraid to get down and dirty at times, picking up eight red cards in the Premier League, which was one every 4,617th minute.

PATRICK VIEIRA

He was a powerful presence on the pitch and his opponents would get the worst of it at times as he earned eight reds during his career for one every 3,162nd minute.

DUNCAN FERGUSON

Of everyone on this list, the Scotsman picked up his eight red cards the quickest. He got sent off once every 2,283rd minute. Phew.

ROY KEANE 

Another Irish great who played so long that he eventually picked up enough reds to make this list, his seven coming at a pace of one every 4,413rd minute.

LEE CATTERMOLE

He loves a dirty challenge as he had his seven red cards by the age of 27, including six in the span of 99 appearances, which is one every 2,540th minute.
