Former Liverpool star Fabinho was at the heart of a comical scene while being sent off for Al-Ittihad on Tuesday night. The Brazilian immediately ran towards the sideline, refusing to make eye contact with the referee behind him. He handed the captain's armband to a team-mate but even though he wasn't looking, Fabinho was shown a second yellow and then red by the match official. While a third put: 'Bro really tried to gaslight the entire stadium into thinking his shift was over.' 'He knew it is a second yellow card.'
