Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli, who was sent to the stands as his team crashed out of the Champions League at Leicester City, said he did not know why he and Samir Nasri were banished by Italian referee Daniele Orsato.
On-loan Manchester City midfielder Nasri's moment of madness arrived shortly after Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel parried a shot from substitute Joaquin Correa.
Nasri took exception to a Jamie Vardy push and the two squared up forehead to forehead. The Frenchman made a headbutt motion and England striker Vardy flopped to the ground, prompting a second yellow card for the former Arsenal man.
