City's Sagna fined £40K for '10 against 12' Instagram post

Manchester City's Bacary Sagna has been fined £40,000 by the Football Association for "alleged misconduct" over an Instagram post, BBC Sport confirmed Tuesday.

The right-back took to social media after his side's 2-1 triumph over Burnley on Jan. 2 with a post that began "10 against 12 ... but still fighting and winning as a team," indicating Sagna was questioning Lee Mason's refereeing in the match.

The "10 against 12" beginning to the caption was later deleted, but BBC Sport's Simon Stone reports Sagna, 33, has been warned about his future conduct by the FA.

Mason's officiating also visibly irked manager Pep Guardiola, who conducted a bizarre post-match interview. In addition to Fernandinho's dismissal, the Spanish boss was unhappy with Burnley's consolation in the match, as Claudio Bravo was apparently impeded in the lead-up to the goal when trying to corral a deflected corner from the away side.
