Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The incident occurred near the hour mark in the second half, when Kalulu appeared to attempt to hit Castellanos in the back. Juve were leading by a goal at that point, but Kalulu's sending off helped Lazio pile on the pressure in the closing stages, as Matias Vecino scored the equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time. The draw could prove costly for the Bianconeri, who are yet to secure the fourth spot and subsequently, a spot in next season's Champions League.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR PIERRE KALULU?
The French centre-back's season is effectively over, as Juve have just two more games to play. Kalulu will now return to play in the Club World Cup next month.
