Gianluigi Donnarumma's dramatic plea to referee Michael Oliver during Monday's Premier League clash has earned him an unwanted record: the most-booked goalkeeper in Europe this season.

The Italy captain was left fuming after Everton's second goal in the thrilling 3-3 draw, believing he had been fouled in the build-up from a corner kick. In a desperate bid to overturn the decision, Donnarumma actually knelt before Oliver—a gesture that ultimately backfired. Instead of getting the call reversed, he received his seventh yellow card of the campaign, topping the disciplinary charts among keepers across Europe's top ten leagues.

It was a bittersweet night for the Manchester City shot-stopper. Despite his protests, Donnarumma had already produced several crucial saves to keep his side in the match. And in a twist of fate, he even contributed to City's dramatic late equalizer—rushing into the Everton box for a stoppage-time corner that led to Jeremy Doku's 97th-minute strike.

Now in his debut season at the Etihad, Donnarumma has been a busy man between the posts. Across 40 appearances in all competitions, he's conceded 40 goals but has also kept an impressive 16 clean sheets—a reminder that while his passion sometimes gets the better of him, his shot-stopping remains world-class.
