David Moyes admitted he deserved to be sent to the stands after Sunderland tumbled out of the EFL Cup at Southampton.
The Black Cats boss was furious after his struggling side were denied a late penalty when Maya Yoshida brought down Victor Anichebe in the area.
But the Scot's industrial language towards fourth official James Adcock earned him his marching orders as Sunderland crashed out to Sofiane Boufal's strike.
'I was sent off for leaving my box and swearing at the fourth official,' Moyes said.
