Neymar sent off for wearing mask

BRAZILIAN wonderkid Neymar wast sent off — for wearing a mask of his own face!

The Santos striker, 19, scored a brilliant individual goal in the Copa Libertadores clash with Colo Colo.

He ran into the crowd to grab the mask from a fan before returning to the pitch to celebrate.

But the referee did not see the funny side of his actions and showed him a second yellow card.

Neymar was the first of FIVE players to be sent off in an ill-tempered match which Santos won 3-2.
