Fastest red card ever? Jean-Clair Todibo sent off after 9 seconds in Nice v Angers
Jean-Clair Todibo made history on Sunday afternoon for all the wrong reasons.
The Frenchman was in the starting lineup for Nice’s Ligue 1 clash against Angers at Allianz Riviera.
But he was on the pitch for just nine seconds before being sent off.
Yes, you are reading that right. Todibo really was sent off nine seconds after the final whistle blew.
Angers took kick-off and immediately charged towards Nice’s goal.
The away side produced some intricate passing as they caught Nice napping.
Abdallah Sima looked to have gone clear on goal but was stopped in his tracks by Todibo, who sent his opponent crashing to the floor.
The referee for the match, Bastien Dechepy, did not hesitate at all as he pulled out a red card and sent off Todibo for committing a professional foul.
The 23-year-old protested the decision but his pleas fell on deaf ears and he was made to return to the dressing room.
