Video: Player red-carded on stretcher

A referee in Belgium red-carded a player while he was being stretchered off the pitch.

In the amateur match, Julien Lecomte clashed with a defender and had to be taken off by medical staff due to his injuries - but the ref accused him of diving before issuing a second yellow.

Lecomte was taken to hospital, where it was confirmed that he had suffered concussion and three displaced vertebrae.
