Edinson Cavani took a dive to earn a penalty and it worked. Then he made the penalty, celebrated with his fake gun shooting and all was well for he and Paris Saint-Germain.
Edinson Cavani scores, gets sent off in bizarre two minutes
That’s a pretty normal sequence, and it happens all the time. What followed wasn’t, and doesn’t.
The referee showed Cavani a yellow card for his fake gun showing, despite the fact that he does it regularly and has never been punished for it before. Then Cavani, shocked as to what was going on, grabbed the referee by the sleeve. That earned him a second yellow card in the referee’s estimation, so the red came out and Cavani’s day was over.
A celebration was okay, then it wasn’t.
PSG had a goal, then they had just 10 men.
Cavani was the hero, then the befuddled goat.
It went from totally normal to absolutely crazy in all of two minutes. Good start to the weekend, European football!
