Is this the worst red-card decision EVER? Chelsea loanee Ethan Ampadu is sent off for an inch-perfect tackle on Franck Ribery in Venezia's defeat... leaving fans baffled by the referee's bizarre call

Ethan Ampadu fell victim to one of football's worst ever red card decisions after being sent off while playing for Venezia despite pulling off a clean tackle.

Ampadu, 21, is spending the season on loan in Italy with the Serie A side, but will now be forced to watch on from the sidelines following the bizarre dismissal.

During the home defeat by fellow strugglers Salernitana this week, Ampadu stepped forward to rob the ball off Franck Ribery, only for the referee to blow for a foul.
