VALENCIA manager Gennaro Gattuso had a MELTDOWN and booted a drinks box before giving Mouctar Diakhaby a death stare after the defender was sent off.
The Frenchman, 25, was shown a second yellow while sitting on the substitutes bench.
His dismissal came after he scored in the 54th minute to give Valencia a then two-goal advantage over Osasuna.
They then conceded in added-time but avoided the late scare.
Diakhaby was substituted off in the 86th minute for ex-Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista.
But that didn't stop the referee from brandishing a second yellow while he was sat on the bench.
