VIDEO: Marseille’s Mario Lemina sent off for wince-inducing punch below the belt

Ah, nuts

Sport hurts

We see soft red card and we see red cards for so-called violent tackles, but it’s rare that we see a straight red card for something that makes us wince.

Step forward: Marseille’s Mario Lemina, who received his marching orders for a well-aimed punch into Rennes’  Ola Toivonen’s private parts.

It’s a punch that hurts even from this distance.

The game finished 1-1.

But we’ve a funny feeling that this will be what it’s remembered for.
