Alex Iwobi given marching orders
Alex Iwobi was given his marching orders just five minutes after coming on as a sub in Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations defeat by Tunisia.
The Everton star saw red after a shocking tackle left Tunisian goalscorer Youssef Msakni writhing in pain on the deck.
Iwobi had been introduced on the hour mark as the Super Eagles went in search of an equaliser after Msakni’s opener just after half-time.
And the 25-year-old appeared to take a heavy touch after receiving a pass from Leicester man Wilfred Ndidi.
Iwobi then stepped across his opponent to shield the ball, but made contact with Msakni’s shin in the process.
It was no doubt a nasty challenge but at first glance there appeared little malice and referee Maguette N’Diaye initially dished out a yellow.
But VAR replays suggested the incident may have been worthy of a dismissal - and N’Diaye agreed after going to the monitor.
Iwobi was open-mouthed as the ref produced a red card from his pocket to leave Nigeria with 10 men.

Eguavoen’s 51 caps for Nigeria
Eguavoen’s 51 caps for Nigeria did not include a run-out with Sudan, but he played against other North African side, and as coach, led the Super Eagles to snatch their best-ever result in that region when they defeated Algeria 5-2 in Oran, in a 2006 FIFA WC qualifier
