It really wasn’t Qarabag’s night in the Europa League on Thursday, with English referee Anthony Taylor even sending off a player that was attempting to high five him.
In the end, the minnows lost 3-2 to Bayer Leverkusen, but Xabi Alonso’s side were in huge danger of losing their unbeaten record.
They’d gone into injury-time at the end of the game 2-1 down, despite Qarabag playing for half an hour with 10 men.
That was because Elvin Cafarguliyev had his yellow card rescinded – prompting the player’s gesture – before Taylor brandished the red.
Patrik Schick’s injury-time double then saw Leverkusen go on to win the match.
