Dele Alli's horror tackle on Gent's Brecht Dejaegere saw him deservedly shown a straight red card and put Tottenham's Europa League fate in serious peril.
With the score on the night at 1-1 against Genk and 40 minutes on the clock the England international lunged in studs up at the Belgian midfielder and was immediately dismissed by referee Manuel de Sousa.
At that stage Spurs were left a man short and needing to score two more goals before the final whistle. However, the game itself was not at the forefront of the BT Sport pundits' minds when discussing the incident at half-time.
