Lamine wanted Anthony Taylor to give a yellow card to the defender who clipped him and the he gave Lamine a yellow card for asking instead 💀

During a heated moment in the match, Lamine found himself on the receiving end of a rough challenge. As he tried to make a quick break, a defender clipped him, bringing his run to an abrupt halt. Feeling that the foul deserved a booking, Lamine immediately turned to referee Anthony Taylor, asking him to show a yellow card to the opposing player.

However, instead of punishing the defender, the referee surprised many by booking Lamine himself. His reaction to the foul — a brief appeal for justice — was deemed excessive dissent, and Taylor wasted no time in pulling out his own yellow card.

The incident quickly became a talking point among fans and commentators. Some believed Lamine’s frustration was understandable given the nature of the foul, while others argued that players should avoid pressuring officials during games. Regardless, the moment highlighted the fine line between appealing for fairness and showing dissent on the pitch.

In the end, what started as a routine foul turned into a lesson in restraint for Lamine. The referee’s decision served as a reminder that, in football, questioning an official’s judgment can sometimes cost more than the foul itself.
