The Socceroos superstar was given his marching orders after the final whistle following an incident with Yohan Cabaye initiated by an alleged push on a ballboy

Tim Cahill was sent off after the final whistle following an altercation with Yohan Cabaye as Everton won 3-1 over Newcastle in England's Premier League on Sunday.

Cahill had come off the bench on 74 minutes for Everton before the late drama where he appeared to grab the throat of the French midfielder.

The Australian had also gone close to scoring on 84 minutes, when his right-foot effort tested Magpies keeper Tim Krul.

However, Cahill's day ended in controversy, when he appeared to grab Cabaye's throat with the pair exchanging words before a number of players became involved after the full-time whistle. Cahill would receive a red card for his part in it all.

Everton boss David Moyes told reporters: "I really don't know what it was about or what it was all for. I thought the referee could have shown a bit of common sense. He showed some common sense with (Chieck) Tiote, he had four fouls after his booking but I don't think he showed enough common sense with the Tim Cahill one."

It's understood the incident occurred after Cabaye pushed a ballboy, with Cahill incensed by the act.

Cahill wrote on Twitter after the game: "Overall it's been a roller coaster of season but finished on a High.2 all the blues out there THANKU for ur support this season."

In Germany's DFB-Pokal final on Saturday, young Aussie keeper Mitchell Langerak was plunged into the big game atmosphere as a 34th-minute substitute in Borussia Dortmund's 5-2 victory over Bayern Munich.

Langerak acquitted himself well enough after number one keeper Roman Weidenfeller had to go off with a bruised rib.

The Australian entered the fray at 1-1, but Dortmund raced to a 3-1 lead by the break, before Langerak almost gifted Bayern a way back with a rush of blood as he raced off his line on 49 minutes, but only headed to Arjen Robben who couldn't make him pay.

However, Langerak was fairly solid in goals, and could do nothing about Franck Ribery's fine left-foot strike on 76 minutes.

In Japan's J-League on Saturday, Alex Brosque made it five goals in all competitions this term with a last-gasp strike to earn Shimizu S-Pulse a 1-1 draw with Cerezo Osaka.

Brosque tapped the ball home from close range after 96 minutes, practically the last kick of the game, following a goalmouth scramble with second-placed Shimizu desperate for a goal to keep them in touch with leaders Vegalta Sendai.
