Former Arsenal and Roma winger Gervinho was sent off in a Chinese Super League game for a brutal stamp on an opponent's groin.
The unsavoury incident occurred as the Ivorian tangled with an Henan Jianye player on Sunday, looking to steal the ball from between his legs.
Instead of winning back possession, the Hebei China Fortune man inadvertently aimed a boot at his opponent's groin not once, but twice.
The referee was quick to blow his whistle, brandishing a red card to 29-year-old Gervinho after a discussion with his linesman.
