Enzo Zidane follows in father's footsteps with crunching red card

Zinedine Zidane's son Enzo proved he has inherited some of his dad's famous temper by earning a red card nine minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute for Real Madrid's Under-18s.

The 17 year old, who goes by the name of Enzo Fernández to reduce the pressure of being compared with his father, kicked out at an opponent when they were both on the ground, leaving the Aspire International player clutching his groin.

Enzo, recently linked with a move to Liverpool, made headlines in 2009 with a call-up to the Spain Under-15 side.

His father's famous 2006 World Cup final altercation with Marco Materazzi was recently commemorated by a new bronze statue outside the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
