Israel forward Saeed Abu Farkhi was shown a red card for celebrating his goal with a gun-firing gesture against Austria in a UEFA Nations League match.

Farkhi scored in the 55th minute to level the match before running to the corner flag and mimicking a shooting gesture.

He had received a yellow card four minutes earlier, and the referee showed him a second yellow followed by a red card for the celebration.

Austria had taken the lead through Romano Schmid’s 43rd-minute penalty. Israel later lost 3-1 to Ireland in their next match.
