Absolutely idiotic sending Aboubakar off for celebrating his match winning goal at the WC vs Brazil. I know the ref was just doing his job (although he had the option of claiming he never saw it...) but that rule definitely needs changing to prevent things like that happening.

Its a yellow card offence, regardless of when it happens. He knew that when he took his shirt off. He could have prevented it by not doing it. I don’t see why the rule needs to be changed.

Plus, it’s not like he misses the next match…🤭

I'd say getting a yellow for taking your shirt off is a ridiculous rule in the first place. I've thought it should've been scrapped from the moment it was introduced.

But sending off a player for scoring a match winning goal is even more ridiculous.
