Lukaku, Mourinho shown red cards

According to Daily Star, Lukaku - who is at Roma on loan from Chelsea - found himself at the centre of chaotic scenes that rocked the Sunday match.

Mourinho's squad was reduced to 10 men in the 64th minute when Nicola Zalewski was sent off before Fiorentina equalised two minutes later.

Things went from bad to worse for the home side in the closing stages of the tie when Lukaku was sent off for a leg-breaker tackle.

A fourth red card was shown to Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic. However, his red card had little impact on the game as he was an unused substitute.

Meanwhile, the draw in the match was enough to cement Roma's place in the top four.
