FORMER Premier League star David Luiz was sent off after unleashing a furious X-rated blast at a referee last night.
The Brazilian defender, 35, headed back to his homeland in September 2021 from the Gunners to join Flamengo.
David Luiz was sent off last night for an X-rated tirade at the referee
He signed a 15-month contract at the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A outfit following a decade playing in Portugal, England and France.
Luiz has recently been linked with a return to Europe with Inter Milan.
But a transfer was far from his thoughts last night after he saw red in the final seconds of his side’s Copa do Brasil quarter final clash with Athletico Paranaense.
With just moments left in the goalless draw, Flamengo ace Leo Pereira went down claiming a penalty.
Referee Luiz Flavio de Oliveira waved away the protests – which led to Luiz yelling at the official: “Go f*** yourself!”
Unfortunately for him the ref heard him and instantly gave him his marching orders, which is set to rule him out of the second leg.
The South American enjoyed huge success during his time in the Premier League.
After signing for Chelsea from Benfica in 2011, the ace won the FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League prior to joining Paris Saint-Germain three years later.

He won the Ligue 1 title during his two seasons at Parc des Princes but came back to Chelsea in 2016 for another three-year stint.
Luiz played a key role in the 2017 Premier League triumph and also tasted FA Cup and another Europa League cup success before signing for Arsenal in 2019.
And the centre-back lifted the FA Cup again with the Gunners under Mikel Arteta prior to falling out of favour under the Spaniard.
He has also won 53 caps for his country and was part of the 2013 Confederations Cup-winning squad.
