Vinicius Júnior goal turns into a RED CARD in Real Madrid win 😱 | LaLiga Highlights

Yan Diomandé, not Vinicius Júnior, supplied the goal that counted. His first Real Madrid goal secured a narrow win over Villarreal for José Mourinho's team, despite a sequence that left Madrid both a goal lighter and a player short.

Vinicius had his goal ruled out and was sent off for pulling an opponent's hair in the buildup. That reversal is the centerpiece of ESPN UK's highlights, which drew roughly 155,000 views in seven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. The comments were also more than twice as numerous as on a typical first day.

Viewers are discussing the abrupt switch from celebration to dismissal, with some also objecting to players crowding the referee. ESPN UK gives the incident a separate reaction treatment: Kay Murray is joined by Craig Burley and Luis García to unpack the win and the red card. The highlights tell both sides of Madrid's evening, a costly moment for Vinicius and a first goal for Diomandé.
