Cesc Fabregas gets bizarre red card for Chelsea at West Brom
Tuesday 19 May 2015 20:13, UK
Cesc Fabregas was sent off in the first half of Chelsea's 3-0 defeat to West Brom on Monday Night Football - and it was a highly unusual dismissal.
Referee Mike Jones was breaking up a confrontation between Diego Costa and several West Brom defenders in the 29th minute when Fabregas - who was standing alone on the other side of the penalty area - took hold of the ball and kicked it into the crowd of players.
The ball struck Chris Brunt on the side of the face, prompting a furious reaction from home captain Darren Fletcher - and the Spaniard was shown a straight red card.
The Sky Sports pundits were bemused by the incident afterwards with Jamie Carragher describing it as "quite funny" - and almost being impressed by the accuracy of Fabregas' kick.
