This is the moment that a tackle by John McGinn sparked a dugout rammy during Aston Villa's defeat to Tottenham.
With the visitors 2-0 up at Villa Park, the Scotland international got himself sent off for a bad challenge on Destiny Udogie.
With the left-back looking to break up the field, the midfielder swiped his legs. And this is what sparked the confrontation.
Ange Postecoglou was involved as he looked to cool matters and get McGinn away from his raging Spurs players. Villa boss Unai Emery could also be seen trying to get the player away from the situation.

It was a fiesty counter with both sides trying desperately to secure a top-four finish this season, and in turn Champions League football.
It wasn't McGinn's finest moment in a Villa shirt, as he was sent off on 65 minutes.
Spurs went on to score a further twice in stoppage time, as Postecoglou's team ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.
Meanwhile, Neil Warnock's departure from Aberdeen yesterday left Neil Lennon gobsmacked.
The 75-year-old shocked Scottish football as he stood down from the role at Pittodrie following their 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup.

Warnock was in position for just 32 days, as he struggled to get a tune out of the Dons players following Barry Robson's sacking.
Lennon was installed as the early frontrunner to take on the job upon the news about Warnock leaving on Saturday afternoon.
But the ex-Celtic manager insists he was stunned to hear of the news.
He told Viaplay Sports: "I was gobsmacked. He came under a lot of criticism with the players with recent performances and results. But that was a big win for them for the remainder of the season."
