Jean Clair Todibo: Nice Defender Sent Off After Just 9 Seconds in Top Flight Match

• Nice defender Jean Clair-Todibo received the fastest red card in Ligue 1 history after he was sent off after just 9 seconds
• The defender was deemed to have blocked an opponent from a clear goalscoring opportunity
• The former Barcelona starlet was incensed by the decision and blasted the match officials afterwards

Jean Clair-Todibo had an embarrassing afternoon to forget after he was red-carded after just 9 seconds. The sending off will go down as the fastest-ever in Ligue 1 history.

The defender started as one of the centrebacks for Nice alongside veteran Brazilian Dante for the visit of Angers on September 18th at the Allianz Riviera.

Angers started off the match and immediately made beeline for the Nice goal. Todibo went in on a challenge bringing down Abdallah Sima near the edge of the penalty area.

Centre referee Bastien Dechepy did not need a second invitation to be convinced that it was a denial of a goalscoring opportunity and he immediately brandished out a red card. The Video Assistant Referee upheld the position of the on-field referee.

All this took place within the first 9 seconds of the game as Lucian Favre's side were left with a mountain to climb. Angers eventually took advantage of their numerical advantage two minutes before halftime, with Nabil Bentaleb scoring the game's only goal.

Speaking after the match and as quoted by Goal, the 22-year-old was infuriated by the decision.

The decisions of the referees at the start of the season are very questionable, even scandalous and I hope that the LFP will do something to remedy this.

Nice are 13th with 8 points.
