Juventus were dealt a bitter blow at the Stadio Olimpico after Gianluca Mancini’s blistering 53rd minute strike proved to make a difference and hand the Giallorossi all three points. The Italian center-back scored his first goal in two years with an outstanding finish, but that was not the only notable moment in the match by him, as he played a key role in facilitating Moise Kean’s 40-second cameo.
Moise Kean was substituted on for Juan Cuadrado in the 89th minute, but the striker stayed on the pitch for no more than 40 seconds. Getting into a sideline tussle, Kean was first dragged along by Mancini before the forward let his rage out by blatantly kicking the defender in the back of his leg out of frustration.

Referee Fabio Maresca didn’t flinch and handed Kean his marching orders, which remarkably still failed to beat the fastest red card in Italian top-flight history.

That record belongs to Giuseppe Lorenzo, who was bestowed the #12 position by The Times (via RedCafe) in its ‘Football’s 50 greatest hard men’ list. The hard-headed Bologna forward was sent off after 10 seconds against Parma in 1990 for launching his fist in an unprovoked assault against an opposition player.
Kean might have had an unforgettable night, but Lorenzo’s red card still stands as one of the fastest-ever sending-offs in football history.
