Edinson Cavani SENT OFF After Celebrating Goal With Usain Bolt's Gun Gesture

Paris St-Germain striker Edinson Cavani was sent off for his trademark gun celebration and subsequent protests as the French champions beat Lens. Adama Coulibaly's 20-yard shot put Lens ahead but Yohan Cabaye equalised. Maxwell gave PSG the lead with a lob before Jean-Philippe Gbamin was sent off for shoving Cavani in the area.
Cavani scored the penalty, was booked for miming firing a gun and shown a second yellow for immediately grabbing referee Nicolas Rainville's arm. Cavani, a £55m signing from Napoli in July 2013, was leading the line in the continued absence of injury of regular strike partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi told Canal Plus television: "He doesn't deserve this red card. Why did he get this yellow card before? He always celebrates the same way."

Jerome Le Moigne was dismissed for the newly promoted hosts just before the hour in a game played at the Stade de France because Lens's Bollaert stadium is being renovated.

Victory moved PSG above Bordeaux into second in Ligue 1, four points behind Marseille, who have a game in hand.
