Aaron Lennon
Neil Lennon and Matt Taylor joined Sky Sports Essential Football to take a candid look at their experiences being sent off, beating Barca, playing under Big Sam and Sean Dyche, as well as discuss their careers as players and the inspirational figures they've had around them.
Burnley began their league campaign with a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth thanks to Matej Vydra's PS11 million debut goal. The Slovakian stabbed in from close range after only 125 seconds, and Lennon doubled the lead minutes later with Johann Gudmundsson's beautiful chipping pass.
The Cherries made a late push for an equaliser, but Joe Hart made an outstanding save from David Brooks and Josh King missed with his shot. With their win, the Clarets move back up to fourth in the table - though it could have been so different had things gone differently.
Paul Dummett is on the treatment table after suffering a knee injury against Palace. It appears he will be out for the remainder of the season, leaving John Carver with an uncertain centre-back line-up to choose from.
Steven Taylor
Taylor's first red card against Aston Villa four years ago remains a haunting memory. He mishandled a goal-bound shot with his hand, fell like a victim of a sniper's bullet and was sent off.
Newcastle's history is filled with bizarre moments that should never have taken place.
Steven Taylor was an unwavering Geordie, willing to do anything for his club. As someone who grew up alongside the Toon Army, Steven had a deep-seated loyalty to his beloved club.
He wanted nothing more than for the assembled Geordie masses to return home contented. He dreamed of the day when they could celebrate with pride, and he was willing to put himself in harm's way for his team.
He's now captain of Wellington Phoenix in Australia's A-League, playing a different style of football to that which he was familiar with at St James' Park.
Gareth Barry
Barry had a remarkable 22-year career, playing for four clubs - Aston Villa, Manchester City, West Bromwich Albion and Everton. He earned selection to England's teams for both UEFA Euro 2000 and the 2010 World Cup.
Roberto Martinez first signed for Goodison Park as a season-long loan from Manchester City in September 2013, but later signed permanently in the summer of 2014. With injuries plaguing his first-team and speculation swirling that Marouane Fellaini might join Manchester United, Roberto Martinez saw cover for central midfield as an increasingly pressing priority.
Gareth Barry was a beloved figure at Goodison Park and his ability to step in when needed was rewarded with several crucial Premier League appearances. In 2015-16, his first full season under Ronald Koeman, he was regularly called upon as Everton's defensive midfielder, creating an effective partnership with Idrissa Gueye.
Nathan Foden
Manchester City's unbeaten streak was extended to seven matches when Wolves' ten-man defender Nathan Collins received a straight red card for his reckless challenge on Jack Grealish. Collins' kick, which saw his boot thrust into the England star's midriff with zero malice but an air of carelessness that left referee Anthony Taylor no choice but to issue him his marching orders.
City took control of the game early with Grealish's opening goal and added a third in the second half to make it 3-0, with Phil Foden tapping home a right-wing cross from Kevin De Bruyne after 68 minutes for an emphatic victory that puts them above Arsenal into top spot.
Pep Guardiola was quick to praise Foden for his impressive debut, yet the youngster has yet to earn a first-team start this season. Due to a back injury, however, Foden will likely miss Saturday's home fixture against Aston Villa due to his mistakes. Although Guardiola expressed concern over them being sent off, the coach is more than content to give him extra time to learn and develop.
