Dnipro defender Samuel Inkoom was bizarrely red-carded on Thursday after he was booked for a second time for taking off his shirt while making his way off the pitch after being substituted.
The Ghana international looked bemused after referee Oleg Derevinsky produced a second yellow card and sent him off in the 62nd minute.
Dnipro were two goals up against Karpaty Lviv in a Ukrainian Premier League match when the baffling incident happened.
Nevertheless, despite how harsh the yellow card seemed, manager Juande Ramos still had little sympathy for his player after the match.
�Samuel was already on a yellow card, and we know if you take your shirt off on the field you�ll be shown a yellow card,� the former Spurs boss said.
�It was an unforgivable mistake on the part of our player. �A professional can�t allow himself to make such mistakes.� Inkoom, who was fortunate that Dnipro managed to see out the game 2-0 with ten men, bizarrely defended his actions by blaming the weather � because it�s freezing�
�It�s cold here,� he told Swiss newspaper Blick.
�At the moment the temperature is about zero.� The 22-year-old has been linked with a transfer to Liverpool, with scouts from the Premier League thought to have been present at the match.
