Aston Villa was reduced to 10 men during the first half of their Boxing Day visit to Newcastle as John was deemed to have intentionally stamped on Fabian Schar.
The controversial moment came as Duran attempted to latch on to a through ball with Villa already 1-0 down thanks to a second-minute strike from Anthony Gordon.
Schar slid in to clear the ball to safety, leaving himself beneath the Villa striker.
Duran looked to get his feet tussled up before making contact with his studs on three separate occasions.
Fans were divided over whether he meant to do so but the referee brandished the red card for violent conduct, which was confirmed by V.A.R.
Duran was far from impressed with the decision as he waited for the VAR ruling and let out his anger as it was revealed.
The Colombian kicked a water bottle in disgust before being guided down the tunnel, much to the enjoyment of the home supporters.
Villa's day went from bad to worse as Alexander Isak doubled the Magpies' lead in the second half.
Joelinton added a lovely third in stoppage time to wrap up what was a resounding win for the home side.
The defeat leaves Unai Emery's men eighth while Newcastle are now fifth, four points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal.
With an automatic three-match ban incoming, Duran will have to concede his first-team spot to England striker Ollie Watkins for the time being, having won Emery's favor during the festive period.
Duran, who will be hotly pursued by clubs in the January transfer window, has started the last three Premier League matches for the West Midlands side, impressing with 12 goals from 26 appearances across all competitions so far.
Meanwhile, Watkins, who has established himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League over the last few seasons, started the opening 14 matches of the Premier League season.
Newcastle's assistant manager Jason Tindall was also sent off during the Magpies' Boxing Day clash with Aston Villa, shushing Unai Emery on the touchline at half-time.
Eddie Howe's outspoken assistant was repeatedly engaged with the Villa manager during a heated first half and watched the remainder of the match from the stands.
