Serge Aurier was sent off during the first half of Ivory Coast's friendly clash with England at Wembley on Tuesday. The former Tottenham star was initially booked for pulling back Jack Grealish, and received his second yellow card in the 40th minute for dissent.
Grealish appeared to plead with the referee not to dismiss the Ivorian captain in a bid to keep the friendly match at a competitive level, but to no avail. England were already 1-0 up through Ollie Watkins' tap-in after fine work from Raheem Sterling, and the Manchester City forward doubled their advantage just before the break.
Aurier spent four years with Spurs before his contract was cancelled last summer, he is now plying his trade with Spanish side Villarreal. During his time in north London he was often the target of fans' ire due to defensive lapses and the odd dismissal.
And supporters took to social media to revel in his misfortune, here's a select few reacted...
