Referee Sends Off FOUR Players At Once During Brazilian Game

Steven Gerrard's red card dominated the news agenda on Sunday, as the Liverpool captain was sent-off 45 seconds after coming on during the Merseysiders' defeat to Manchester United, but it wasn't the most shocking dismissal of the weekend.

That award goes to the clash in Brazil between Flamengo and Vasco da Gama, as referee Joao Batista de Arruda sent off FOUR players at once during the fiesty encounter.

The decision didn't seem to have much bearing on the score as Flamengo ran out 2-1 winners.
