Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has taken to twitter to apologise for 'letting the team down' after being sent off against Swansea.

Courtois is banned for the match at the Etihad Stadium after he was sent off against Swansea for a foul on striker Bafetimbi Gomis, which earned their opponents a penalty and allowed them to draw the game 2-2.

“2-2 , red card, not the start I expected,” Courtois said on Twitter. “Sad to let the team down on that moment. They fought really hard till the end to win this game !”
