Vinícius sent off after his goal is disallowed in Real Madrid vs Villarreal LaLiga match
The referee disallowed Vinícius Júnior's goal and sent him off after VAR showed he pulled a Villarreal player's hair at the start of the move.
Referee Isidro Díaz Escuderos sent off Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior a few minutes after his celebration of the second goal against Villarreal on Saturday in the eighth round of LaLiga.
Real Madrid were leading in the middle of the second half with a goal from the Ivorian Yann Diomandé before the Englishman Jude Bellingham broke forward on an attack and passed the ball to Vinícius, who scored the second. During the celebration, and as his coach José Mourinho ran to celebrate with him, the referee summoned the Video Assistant Referee.
After the review, the referee disallowed the goal because Vinícius pulled the hair of Villarreal player Nathan-Dylan Saliba at the start of the move that led to the goal, and showed him a red card.
