Socceroo set for ban after seeing red mist for Watford

Nestory Irankunda's short fuse has got the better of him as the young Socceroo lost his cool in the dying seconds of Watford's latest Championship defeat and was sent off.

The teenager was being baited in a clash with Swansea City's Liam Cullen in added time at Vicarage Road with the home side 2-0 down, and responded to a shove by reacting wildly with both hands raised to the midfielder's neck and pushing him over.

It was a wretched finale for Watford, whose hopes of pushing towards a Premier League place have taken a hit since the start of the New Year as they've slumped to 10th, now four points off the playoff places.
