Tomas Soucek went from hero to zero during Saturday's clash with Tottenham as West Ham imploded in the second half.
After being one of the most involved players on the pitch defensively to help things remain goalless with a leading eight clearances, he's now gone walking.
West Ham initially conceded two minutes after half-time, and now the hosts are down to 10 men following a rash decision from the veteran defender.
Soucek went in studs up against João Palhinha and knew he would be seeing red immediately. It's only the second red card of his career.
Then, in the subsequent free-kick from the incident, Tottenham turned the screw.
Some nine seconds into the restart following the dangerous tackle, Lucas Bergvall headed home another for the visitors to register his first Premier League goal.
Not a 10-minute spell you'd want at all in a derby.
