Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo picked up what is surely one of the quickest red cards of all time against Angers today.
Watch this bizarre incident in the video clip below, with the 22-year-old denying his opponent a clear run at goal when he was the last defender…

There’s no doubt it was a correct call by the referee to give the red card, but what a shocking start that is for any player.
It’s not often we see such a lively start to a game, but Todibo’s poor positioning and lack of composure surely made a small piece of history here.
