Ref expert: Real Madrid captain Ramos deserved TWO red cards

Ex-ref Andujar Oliver says Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos should twice have been sent off at Alaves.

Alaves stunned the crisis club 1-0 on Saturday.

Ramos was involved in two tussles with Jonathan Calleri and was lucky not to have been shown a yellow card for each of them.

"In the sixth minute the Real Madrid centre-back leaves his foot out and impacts the body of the Alaves player with his heel, cutting out a dangerous move for the Vitoria-based team," refereeing expert Andujar Oliver said on Radio MARCA.

"In the 11th minute Ramos hits his elbow on the face of the Alaves striker in an action that Jaime Latre didn't sanction."

Ramos wasn't booked for either incident.
