MATHEUS CUNHA had to be held back by his coaching staff after seeing red for an "outrageous" attack on Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez.
The Wolves striker hit, kicked and HEADBUTTED the defender in the final minute of extra time amid a dramatic FA Cup fifth-round tie.
It means the Brazilian faces another lengthy ban.
That's because Saturday's sending-off was for violent conduct AND as it's his second dismissal of the season.
He picked up a three-match suspension in December, which was reduced to two games, after pulling the glasses off an Ipswich staff member in a touchline bust-up.
This time Kerkez began the flare-up by pulling the shirt of Cunha, who lashed back in response with astonishing fury.
The Brazilian was seen throwing both his arms at the face of the Hungarian international, who then went to the ground.
Cunha then aimed a sly kick at Kerkez while he was down.
And, as if to make his outburst impossible for the referee to miss, he then headbutted the Serbia-born star once he had got up.
The 25-year-old's own dugout team were then forced to restrain him as he suffered a total loss of self-control.
Ex-England keeper Rob Green told the BBC: "Outrageous behaviour from Matheus Cunha.
"He is trying to remonstrate with the fourth officials. It will be a lengthy suspension, you can't do that."
Cunha had netted to cancel out Evanilson's opener on the hour in a 1-1 draw, before Bournemouth triumphed 5-4 on penalties.
