Douglas Costa put a dent on Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration of opening his goalscoring account for Juventus when he received a red card for spitting at a Sassuolo player in Serie A match that the defending champions won 2-1.
Costa escaped with a booking for elbowing and then head-butting Sassuolo midfielder Federico Di Francesco as they tangled before the late Sassuolo goal. The Brazilian, however, was shown a red card in stoppage time after video assistant referee caught him spitting at the same player in another altercation.
Watch the video below.
Douglas Costa sputa addosso all’avversario. 2 minuti dopo che l’ha visto tutto il mondo, il Var proprio non può esimersi.
Roba da minimo 3 giornate.
Ma l’assurdo è come l’arbitro Chieffi avesse potuto condonare un tentativo di testata (e non un testa contro testa) davanti a lui! pic.twitter.com/V6tZAjBZ5k— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) September 16, 2018
