Inter Milan midfielder Felipe Melo received a red card for delivering a kung fu kick to an opponent's neck during Sunday night's Serie A soccer match against Lazio.
With Lazio holding a 2-1 lead in the final minutes, Melo was a bit too aggressive in his pursuit of the ball as it bounced near the head of Lazio midfielder Lucas Biglia.
Although Melo appeared apologetic and concerned for Biglia, it wasn't enough to save him from being ejected from the game.
Melo is known for having a bit of a temper, so this incident certainly won't help his reputation.
