Thamsanqa Gabuza must be a contender for the most bizarre sending off of the season after this effort.

The Orlando Pirates striker lost his rag during his side's 2-1 win over Black Leopards in the Asba Premiership in South Africa.
Gabuza played a part in the opening goal of the match as his cross was turned into his own net by Leopards defender Thivhavhudzi Ndou.
He then went nuts, ripped off his shirt and lobbed it into the crowd, before storming off the pitch in a huff, not before his manager Micho Sredojevic gave him a rollicking!
This was all in the 34th minute of the match and he returned to the bench around 10 minutes later, with his leg heavily strapped.
Referee Thando Ndzandzeka wasn't born yesterday though and marched over to the bench and showed Gabuza two yellows and a red card in the 51st minute, one for his aggressive celebration and another for leaving the field without permission.
Imagine if he'd actually scored a goal!
