GARETH BALE has received the second red card of his career in Real Madrid's match against Las Palmas.

The Welshman received two yellow cards in ten seconds after losing his cool for the Galacticos.

After failing to win the ball, he tripped Jonathan Viera and then aimed a push at the Uruguayan when the decision went against him.

The referee was left with no choice but to pull both a yellow and red card out of his pocket to give the former Tottenham star his marching orders.

Bale's return from a three month layoff has recently turned from a dream into a nightmare.

He came off the bench to score against Espanyol and then scored Real Madrid's first goal in a 3-2 comeback win against Villarreal.

But he had to go off after what appeared to be a recurrence of his ankle injury and was a doubt for tonight's match.

The only other time Bale has been sent off in his career was against Stoke nine years ago.
