For the first time in the history of the Champions League, a player has been sent off after scoring a brace. Antoine Griezmann scored a first half double and erased Liverpool’s 2-0 lead after 15 minutes, by scoring in the 20th and 34th minutes.

He received a straight red card just after half time in the 52nd minute for a high boot to the face of Roberto Firmino, earning his marching orders without a second thought.

Atletico sit second in Group B with 4 points, five behind leaders Liverpool who have a 100% win record.
