VIDEO: Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez lands brutal kick on opponent's HEAD to earn straight red card in Argentina's ill-tempered draw with Colombia

Fernandez saw red in the second half after his attempt to control a bouncing ball saw make contact with Kevin Castano's head. He was subsequently shown a straight red card, as Castano required treatment due to blood being drawn, albeit his reactio was very dramatic.

Argentina were 1-0 down when Fernandez was sent off, after Luis Diaz scored a superb goal for Colombia, but without the midfielder, the World Cup holders fought back, as Thiago Almada equalised while a man down. Still, the fractious nature of the game was summed up by Lionel Messi's clash with James Rodriguez. Messi and Co. remain top of the World Cup qualifying group in South America, and are 10 points clear of both Ecuador and Brazil.

Argentina return to action in September against Venezuela and Ecuador, but Fernandez will be suspended. The midfielder could next be in action at the Club World Cup, with Chelsea kicking off their tournament against LAFC on June 16.
