Furious Mbappe shown red card for pushing over opponent in wild end to PSG game

Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe was shown the first red card of his Ligue 1 career on Saturday after being sent off for shoving Nimes' Teji Savanier.

Goals from Neymar and Angel Di Maria had given the French champions a comfortable 2-0 lead in a first half that saw Mbappe pick up a yellow card for dissent.

The young attacker appeared to be angry with the amount of fouls the hosts had been committing and had to be calmed down by Neymar.

The second half was more topsy-turvy, with PSG's lead having been cancelled out by a strike from Antonin Bobichon and a penalty from Savanier.
