Ghanaian striker was handed a controversial red card on Saturday that led to his side suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat to Heracles in the Dutch top-flight.

After the 8-0 defeat to Feyenoord in midweek, Go Ahead Eagles were looking to give their fans something to cheer but after only 14 minutes they were on route to another heavy defeat.

Manu was adjudged to have handled on the line leading to a red card for the winger and a penalty for the visitors.

Thomas Bruns opened the scoring for Heracles from the penalty spot in the 13th minute before Armenteros scored his first three minutes later.

Kristoffer Peterson put the visitors 3-0 up inside 22 minutes but Dan Crowley pulled one back for Go Ahead moments later.

Armenteros' second, from the penalty spot, wrapped the game up before the half-time whistle as the Eagles remained rooted to the bottom of the standings.

 

Go Ahead Eagles remain bottom of the table and five points from safety with only four games left. Heracles are ninth.
