Watch as furious Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is SENT OFF after angry rant at officials over penalty shout
LEEDS UNITED boss Jesse Marsch was sent off for moaning at the referee during his side's clash against Brentford.
Marsch went on a furious rant at the officials in the second half after Crysencio Summerville was brought down by Aaron Hickey, with a VAR review deeming the coming together not to be a penalty.
This decision sent Marsch into a frenzy, with the American frantically waving his arms at the officials.
Referee Robert Jones deemed Marsch's action's to be overzealous and subsequently sent him to the stands.
The Whites were already 3-1 down at the time of their manager's dismissal, with Ivan Toney laying down his England credentials with an impressive hat-trick.
Marc Roca did pull one back with 11 minutes of normal time to go, but goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa ended any hopes of a late comeback with the score ending 5-2 to the hosts.
