Unsurprisingly, the Portugese ended up getting a red card for his troubles
Fenerbahce drew 3-3 with Besiktas last night in a pretty thrilling Istanbul derby, but Raul Meireles was unable to stay on the pitch for 90 minutes after putting in this pretty shocking tackle.
Meireles got his marching orders for the challenge, but he wasn’t the only Portuguese involved as Hugo Almeida got two goals for Besiktas to give them a 3-2 lead in the closing stages of the game and almost lead them to a famous victroy.
It was another former Liverpool man was able to get a goal back for Fenerbahce however, as Dirk Kuyt popped up just before the end to nod home a goal and get the draw in what was a fairly extraordinary match.
