GABRIEL MARTINELLI was handed a yellow card for SHOVING the referee as Arsenal crashed out of the FA Cup.
The Brazilian winger lost his head in the closing moments of the Gunners’ 2-1 quarter-final defeat at Southampton on Saturday.
A late Saints goal saw Mikel Arteta’s men miss out on a spot in Sunday’s semi-final draw.
And it got too much for Martinelli as he ended up in the ref’s book for a bizarre incident.
As Arsenal pushed forward in search of a late equaliser, a free-kick was given in their favour.
But with just a few minutes remaining, Martinelli had no time to wait.
As the referee picked up the ball after pausing play, Arsenal’s fiery forward charged towards him at full speed.
Martinelli then pushed him to grab the ball back and restart the match.
However, all it did was merely delay Arsenal’s opportunity to get the action back on.
And Martinelli also ended up receiving a silly yellow card for his troubles.
