Video vexation adds to Montella's woes

MILAN - AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella was fuming on Sunday as he claimed captain Leonardo Bonucci was sent off with a first "made for television" red card via the video assistant referee.

Italian international Bonucci could be seen on replays elbowing Genoa's Aleandro Rosi in the face in the 25th minute of Sunday's 0-0 draw, with the former Juventus star's dismissal changing the course of the game and possibly Montella's career.

As seven-time European champion Milan plunges to 11th in Serie A, the result could have implications for Montella's future with the Chinese-owned club.
