Ex-Arsenal star Lukas Podolski sent off after confronting ref at own charity tournament

Lukas Podolski was sent off at his own charity tournament before going on to throw water at match officials.

The former Germany international, who spent a number of years in the Premier League with Arsenal, was playing at the Schauinsland Reisen Cup in Gummersbach, Germany. The 37-year-old confronted the referee after a decision went against him, and the official showed him a red card.

Podolski wasn't done there, either. The former World Cup star, who was representing Polish outfit Gornik Zabrze at the indoor football tournament, threw water in the direction of the on-field officials from the sidelines after being given his marching orders.
