James LOSES it! Former Everton star Rodriguez sent off for two quickfire yellow cards for dissent at new club Al Rayyan... before ripping his shirt off in anger and sprinting down the tunnel

James Rodriguez was bizarrely sent off via two quickfire yellow cards for dissent for shouting at the referee in his new Qatari club Al Rayyan's defeat on Saturday.

The former Everton man, who was let go by the Toffees earlier this year to complete his move to Qatar, was trying to get his side an equaliser while Al Rayyan were 2-1 down away to Al-Arabi on Saturday, when he was scythed down by opposition player Aaron Boupendza on the edge of the box.

Even though Rodriguez and Al Rayyan were awarded a free-kick, the Colombian midfielder was booked for protesting too much with the referee.
