Gabriel Martinelli was shocked after being sent off for two yellow cards issued at the same time by English Premier League referee Michael Oliver.
The Arsenal striker was bemused when he was flashed a red in the second half of the Gunners clash against Wolves.
And it came from two bookings picked up in the same passage of play that will doubtlessly spark debate.
In the 69th minute Martinelli shoved Wolves striker Daniel Podence, in an attempt to delay a quick throw in down the right wing.
Podence restarted play and Martinelli then chased after the ball and scythed down Chiquinho, prompting Oliver to blow the whistle.
The player was bemused but a previous decision in international football indicates Oliver made the right call.
IFAB, the international body that issues the Laws of the Game, have already discussed this and ruled two yellow cards in an advantage passage of play can be the "correct" course of action.
Back in 2015 Northern Ireland defender Chris Baird was booked twice for two separate tackles in the same passage of play in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Hungary.
And an IFAB spokesperson said at the time: "Match officials are reminded that playing an advantage for a cautionable offence runs the risk that the offending player may commit a second cautionable offence.
"But the spirit of advantage should be considered especially if by stopping to issue the caution, the non-offending team loses a clear promising attack."
