Metz star Georges Mikautadze was involved in a bizarre VAR mix-up during their Ligue 1 clash against Rennes.
With Metz losing 3-2 at home to Rennes in the 97th minute, Mikautadze was sent off.
The Metz player, who opened the scoring in the 17th minute, was involved in an altercation with Rennes goal-scorer Arnaud Kalimuendo - who had scored just moments prior.
Kalimuendo threw himself to the floor from minimal contact as he walked past Mikautadze, which baffled spectators as Mikautadze was adjudged to be in the wrong.
However, VAR intervened to send the referee for an on-field check, where he reviewed the footage.
