Jimenez was the perpetrator of one of the most bizarre red cards in Premier League history when he managed to receive two yellow cards in the outer space of 30 seconds, resulting in an automatic sending-off.
It all happened in first-half stop time with Wolves deadlocked at 0-0 against Man City. First, Jimenez pulled back Rodri and lunged at him in midfield, earning a circumspection from reviewer John Moss for stopping a promise attack. MORE: How MLS went from retirement league to talent factory
But after the whistle, Jimenez hang around the spot of the free recoil, attempting to slow down the Man City resume and kill some more time as the halftime fracture approach. He failed to back off the ball by the 10 yards required by the Laws of the Game, and when he stuck out his leg and deflected the Man City barren kick try, he left the referee with fiddling choice. just 30 seconds after showing him his first base scandalmongering, Moss brandished a second for check of crippled, and the automatic red calling card followed :

Jimenez credibly thought he could get away with being a nuisance on the complimentary gripe and that the referee would be lenient in the seconds that followed his first engagement. But Man City ‘s Rodri was besides cagey in his own way. Seeing that Jimenez was n’t complying with the regulation distance on the free kick, Rodri shot the musket ball in Jimenez ‘s vicinity know that contact with the ball by Jimenez would probably push the reviewer into action. The Mexican ahead has been one of the feel-good stories in the Premier League after scoring his first gear Premier League goal in his return from a awful head injury. He has three goals and two assists in 16 appearances sol far in 2021-22 and remains one of the most important players for a Wolves team hovering at mid-table.

He threw his headgear to the earth in frustration, each time jeered by the Man City fans. He ‘ll be suspended for Wolves’ following Premier League match at Brighton on Wednesday. The visiting Wolves fans did applaud Jimenez as he plodded off the discipline, but social media was n’t closely a kind. The pundits laid into Jimenez, though some were besides critical of the referee for issuing a soft first yellow .
One of the all-time dazed crimson cards from Raul Jimenez .

A amusing piece of refereeing from Jonathan Moss. Raul Jimenez sent off for two bookings in quick sequence. First was gentle for a foul on Rodri, the irregular even softer for # wwfc striker blocking off Rodri ‘s attempt to take a flying free-kick. Where ‘s the common common sense from Moss

Absurd by Jimenez but Jon Moss is so indeed bad at controlling games excessively .

Raul Jimenez has just been given the stupidest red menu you ‘ll ever see. Booked for a challenge on Rodri, free-kick given on the halfway line, would n’t retreat then stuck his leg out to block it being taken. second yellow and off. Daft .

Always a good second scandalmongering when the referee literally silent has the card in his hired hand from the beginning one
— Adam Hurrey (@FootballCliches) December 11, 2021
Jimenez is absolutely distraught, can scantily bring himself to walk off, throwing his headband to the shock. This is all highly pathetic .

Raúl Jiménez what on earth are you doing, that is wholly embarrassing and unacceptable for a player of his experience # MCIWOL
— Josh Bunting (@Buntingfootball) December 11, 2021
not sure if that was a harsh commit off but it ’ randomness decidedly a stupid thing to do 10 seconds after you ’ ve fair beeen booked
— Leo?? (@mcfcIeo_) December 11, 2021
To be fair to Jimenez, that kind of thing happens all the clock in the Premier League and 99 times out of 100 the referee does nothing .

The first tackle he got the ball … never a scandalmongering
— Michael Joseph Silva (@magicmick11) December 11, 2021
That inaugural yellow for Jimenez is a joke. Tackle was n’t even solid adequate to put Rodri off libra. very absorbing crippled ruined for no reason
— Aaron Moniz (@amonizfootball) December 11, 2021
It ‘s pretty hard to get a second gear yellow card from English referee, UNLESS you do something immediately after your previous umbrage ! That ‘s therefore mindless from Jimenez
— Jonny Singer (@Jonny_Singer) December 11, 2021
what is wrong with jimenez ? these guys had city correct where they wanted them and he does that ?
— aden (@eyetestfb) December 11, 2021
Jimenez ’ s walk off was somehow funnier than his 48 second gear double chicken menu, proper showman
— Paddy (@PaddyArsenal) December 11, 2021
Absolute madness from Jimenez. Can question the first book but the second is crazy. It ‘s going to make the second one-half so much more unmanageable for Wolves – could be a game-changing moment # MCIWOL

The first one is n’t a scandalmongering card, but barely pathetic to try block that free-kick. Rodri delayed and delayed, and then fair fired it at him
