WATCH THIS: PSV Eindhoven's Jetro Willems picks up fastest red card in Eredivisie history

 
This is definitely be an unforgettable night for Jetro, after preparing hard on training and then you prepare your mind that you are going to give your all for you team then you get just 29 seconds on the field of play. Tuesday night saw the Eredivisie record for the fastest red card being re-set, with PSV Eindhoven’s Jetro Willems now the not-so-proud holder of the record. He was sent-off with the clock having just reached 29 seconds for a late tackle on Gill Swerts of NAC Breda.

However, it would be fair to say that he was pretty unfortunate to have been shown a direct red, as replays showed that although he was late with his tackle, he didn’t really make any contact with Swerts, and his opponent's reaction to the challenge might have played a big part in the referee sending him off.

The previous record for the fastest red card in the Eredivisie was held by Ivorian Bonaventure Kalou, who was sent off after 61 seconds in 2001 in a match between Feyenoord and Heerenveen.

The sending off didn’t really have much impact on the outcome of the game though, as PSV went on to record a comfortable 2-0 victory thanks to goals from talisman Memphis Depay and captain Georginio Wijnaldum.
