Fuming Aston Villa supporters have labelled their own player Douglas Luiz as an 'absolute disgrace' after he was sent off against Fulham on Thursday evening.
The Brazilian was given his marching orders by referee Michael Oliver in the 60th minute after video replays showed him headbutting Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Luiz's mindless act of aggression heaped further misery on Villa boss Steven Gerrard who has seen his position come under its most intense scrutiny yet following a 3-0 loss at Craven Cottage.
