​Future Liverpool midfielder Keita sent off for the third time this season

Naby Keita was sent off for the third time this season in RB Leipzig's penalty shoot-out loss to Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal Cup on Wednesday night.

The Guinean midfielder has agreed to join Liverpool for a club-record fee next season.

He was sent off early in the second-half after he received his second yellow card of the match.

Leipzig took the lead from the spot-kick through Emil Forsberg before Thiago Alcantara equalised for Bayern.

Timo Werner had his penalty saved by Sven Ulreich, which cost Leipzig the game.
