I think this decision is just ridiculous. We won the game on the pitch not in offices and as a Senegalese player I'm just proud of what we did.

"It's obvious that diving there with a yellow card was crazy. Then I arrived at the dressing room and it was clear to me that something was happening to me, that I had to ask for help."

Denzel Dumfries' straight red card in the 12th minute gave Ecuador the upper hand, with Enner Valencia cancelling out Willian Pacho's own goal, though the visitors were unable to find a winner for all their pressure.

Four of the matchday squad are currently within a booking of a suspension, namely Zachary Athekame, Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Alexis Saelemaekers. A booking would force them to miss the next league match against Torino.

The highest reported number of players sent off in a single football match is 36 in the Argentine Primera D game between Club Atletico Claypole and Victoriano Arenas refereed by Damian Rubino (Argentina) at the Estadio Rodolfo Capocasa, Claypole, Argentina, on 27 February 2011. All 18 players on each side (11 on-field players and seven substitutes) were sent off following what the referee described in his post-match report as a 'Generalised Brawl'.

Traore's physical approach and Cucurella's defensive tenacity led to a persistent niggle throughout the second half. When the Spanish international appeared to impede the former Wolves winger near the corner flag, the situation finally exploded. Pedro's intervention only served to escalate the mood, drawing in players from both sides as tensions boiled over on the pitch.

Due to Van de Ven being sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity, he will only have to serve a one-game suspension. Had he been dismissed for violent conduct, then a minimum three-match ban would have been his punishment. But in this case, Van de Ven will be unavailable for selection in Tottenham's next Premier League fixture which is against Liverpool at Anfield on March 15.

The first half was tough for us. Obviously, the first goal was an incredible misfortune. After that, they came out more focused, with more attitude... against a rival like Atlético, it's difficult with this advantage," he added.

Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella will only serve a one-match suspension following his red card in Wednesday's Premier League defeat to local rivals Fulham. The Spaniard, 27, received a straight red card for pulling back Fulham's Harry Wilson when he was running through on goal. An offence which leads to the denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) is punished by a one-match ban.

Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley has received a third touchline ban of the season after admitting to a Football Association charge of misconduct. An independent regulatory commission handed the 36-year-old a one-match ban and a 2,000 fine after he was sent off shortly before half-time in Plymouth's EFL Trophy win over Bristol Rovers on 13 January. Cleverley received two yellow cards in quick succession after a decision went against his side and afterwards he said his reaction was "not good enough".
