Video: Lukaku sent off for horror tackle

Romelu Lukaku played every position against Fiorentina, scoring the goal in under five minutes before receiving a straight red card for a horrific tackle that reduced Roma’s roster to nine players.

The Belgian international had opened the score from six yards out after crouching to meet Paulo Dybala’s cross.

But Nicola Zalewski let the blood go to his head by lunging recklessly at Christian Kouame, after he had already been sent off for two bookable offences.

The studs caused a big hole in the Fiorentina forward’s sock since it was late and high.

Jose Mourinho on the sidelines laughed sarcastically when the referee immediately showed the red card.
