Wales international Chris Mepham has been red carded in Bournemouth's crucial play-off semi-final second leg match against Brentford.
The 23-year-old centre-back was given his marching orders after the two sides had scored one goal apiece on Saturday afternoon (at that time 2-1 aggregate to Bournemouth).
The fixture took a game-changing turn after 27 minutes when Frenchman Bryan Mbeumo nicked the ball from Mepham and looked to race through on goal to equalise on aggregate.
After failing to control the ball, Mepham brought down Mbeumo in a manoeuvre not dissimilar to a rugby tackle.
It left the referee with little choice but to red card the player, with the Cherries being left with just 10 men for the remainder of the clash.
The former Brentford player departed the field to chants of "Chris Mepham, he's one of our own" from opposition fans.
David Brooks was subsequently replaced in a reshuffle.
Brentford claimed the victory after a 3-1 win (3-2 aggregate) and will now face the winner of Swansea City v Barnsley in the play-off final at Wembley on May 29.
