Video: Hulk gets bizarre red card

Zenit St Petersburg striker Hulk received a bizarre red card this afternoon, less than 28 minutes into the Russian giants' latest league match against Volga Nizhny Novgorod.

The Brazilian international was booked for arguing with the referee as he prepared to take a free kick, with a second caution following soon after as he took the set piece too quickly for the official's liking.

Hulk had to leave the field despite angry remonstrations with the referee, but Zenit still managed to secure a 3-1 win away from home, courtesy of a hat-trick from Danny.

Watch the incident unfold in the video posted below.
