While fans were still eulogising Eric Lamela for his sublime Rabona goal against Arsenal, the Argentine became the villain on the night after he was sent off in the 76th minute.

Eric Lamela got his second yellow card on the night after his arm caught Kieran Tierney in the face as the Arsenal defender tried to close him down.
