Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi was booked for being sarky by ref Mike Dean during their FA Cup win at Portsmouth.
Guendouzi won a free-kick towards the end of the first half of the clash at Fratton Park, but when he tried to take it quickly he was admonished by referee Dean for placing the ball in the wrong position.
Guendouzi then tried again to take the kick, only to be told that the ball was still not where it should be.
Angered by Dean's insistence, Guendouzi then theatrically picked the ball up and placed it in the correct position in full view of Dean.
The official wasn't having any of what he saw as a sarcastic approach from the young Frenchman though, and brandish a yellow card for dissent, reports the Mirror.
A yellow card for sarcasm?
