Brazilian forward Neymar was sent off after receiving two yellow cards, the second for a horrendous late challenge, during PSG's 4-3 win over Bordeaux in Ligue 1.

The 28-year-old was booked for arguing with the referee over a decision at the end of the first half, and was then given his marching orders for a lunge from behind on Bordeaux's Yacine Adli in injury time.

Neymar sarcastically applauded the fourth official as he left the pitch and will now face a one game suspension, meaning he will miss PSG's home game against Dijon on Saturday.

In a topsy turvy game at Parc des Princes, Bordeaux took a surprise first-half lead through Hwang Ui-jo, but Edinson Cavani equalised before Marquinhos gave his side the lead.

Pablo brought Bordeaux level just before half-time but Marquinhos scored another before Kylian Mbappe made it four, and although Ruben Pardo scored late on to give Bordeaux hope PSG got over the line.

The headlines will once again focus on Neymar, however, with question marks continuing over his temperament.

He has been in superb form in general this season, scoring 16 goals and creating eight assists in all competition, but he had been yellow carded in his two games previous to the one against Bordeaux, and once again lost his cool in the dying moments of Sunday's encounter.

It has recently been reported that Neymar is considering signing an extension to his current deal at PSG despite speculation continuing to link him with a return to his former club Barcelona.

He was said to be desperate for a move away from the club last summer, with La Liga giants Barca and Real Madrid appearing the most likely destinations.

But according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo his happiness at Parc des Princes has improved, and he is contemplating staying on in the French capital.
