From hero to zero! West Ham outcast Andriy Yarmolenko is SENT OFF in an U23s clash against Swansea just minutes after scoring the winner, with winger shown a soft red card for an apparent elbow

Andriy Yarmolenko's stuttering career at West Ham took another turn for the worse after the outcast was sent off for an apparent elbow in an U23s clash earlier today.

The veteran forward was fielded in the club's youth team in an attempt to hand him some much-needed minutes, and he duly made an impact by scoring the winner.

However, just minutes after hitting the back of the net, he was judged by the referee to have elbowed Swansea's Ben Erickson and promptly shown a red card.
