VIDEO: Jordi Alba gets two yellow cards in about six seconds for dissent and off he goes

Shut your mouth Jordi!

Darragh Murphy

We all like a no-nonsense ref but this lad maybe takes it a bit too far.

Jordi Alba had been having a wonderful afternoon after setting up Neymar for the opening goal which was essentially some football gold.

But it all turned sour for the Spaniard after half-time when, protesting a decision, he received a booking for dissent.

After waiting approximately five seconds Alba opened his mouth again and, while most referees would have turned a blind eye, Antonio Mateu turned a 20/20 peeper on the left-back and showed him a second yellow.

There’s authoritative refereeing and then there are just cranky b*****ds.
