Leonardo Jardim saw his Monaco side get off to a poor start to the new season with a 3-0 home defeat to Lyon, and his problems have been worsened by the fact Cesc Fabregas has been handed a three-match suspension.
Fabregas was shown a red card in the match against Lyon for a collision with Leo Dubois in which the midfielder appeared to stamp on the right-back's calf.
In real time the incident looked an innocuous coming together, yet VAR showed the referee replays in slow motion and the decision to dismiss Fabregas was made.
He will now miss the next three Ligue 1 fixtures, and this is only the third red card of his entire club career, with the previous two coming in spells with Arsenal and Chelsea.

The best expulsion of the Premier, the ball that Cesc hits the referee with Chelsea, do not miss it

Well ... lately the Ligue 1 referees are not quite right. It comes to mind last season, in Nantes vs PSG, the current defender of Sevilla -Diego Carlos- runs by and unintentionally runs over the referee, causing him to fall, the referee immediately gets up and goes to the Brazilian center to give him a zancadilla, which he can't reach, then take out a red one and eject it. The most incongruous thing I've seen in my life on a soccer field (it seemed like a silent movie scene).
