Video: Straight red for this attempted decapitation in last night’s Ukraine game

Ukraine’s Taras Stepanenko saw red for this absolutely ridiculous challenge last night

By Adrian Collins

Rarely has a referee’s decision been so easy as this incident last night, thanks to Ukraine’s Taras Stepanenko performing some sort of karate kick on his Moldovan opponent.

The term “high foot” barely even covers this absurd challenge, and we don’t know why he’s holding his head in his hands as he’s sent off the pitch, it doesn’t get more obvious than this.

Hat-tip to 101greagoals.com for the video.
