If you’re going to get sent off in a friendly – get a *straight red* in a friendly – you need to something pretty spectacular.
Step forward Bruno Alves, who managed to do precisely that as England faced Portugal in their last match before Euro 2016.
With a ball bouncing in the direction of Harry Kane on the England right, the Spurs man nodded the ball down into his own path as he attempted to make progress towards the Portuguese box.
Alves did his best to stop Kane, seemingly trying to kick his head clean off his shoulders.

Just imagine how Pepe would have reacted if he’d been on the end of this? He’d still be rolling around now.
