Ten-man Arsenal were held to a goalless draw at Newcastle on the opening day of the Premier League season.
Arsène Wenger’s side bossed the game and seemed set for a late charge before Gervinho was sent off in the 75th minute.
The debutant raced into the area from the left-hand flank, cut inside Cheik Tiote and tumbled over his challenge. Referee Peter Walton refused the penalty but Joey Barton took issue with the Ivorian.
After a brief skirmish, Gervinho was dismissed and Barton saw yellow.
