ANDY CARROLL left fans in stitches after being sent off while celebrating a “goal”.
The Reading ace had wheeled away in celebration after putting the ball in the net against Championship promotion hopefuls Luton, only for the ref to book him for a deliberate handball.
It would have been his second goal of the night, but the referee had other ideas.
Official Tim Robinson gave Carroll, who had been booked earlier in the first half, his marching orders after spotting a handball as the 34-year-old scored.
Fans rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the incident.
One fan said: “That is the most Andy Carroll 5 minutes ever 😂😂,” while sharing a screenshot of Carroll’s whirlwind five minutes since netting the opener in the 51st minute.

Others were less pleased with the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham star.
One fan vented: “What an idiot Andy Carroll is if he’s genuinely handled that.”

Luton then managed to score an equaliser thanks to Carlton Morris’ 81st-minute effort.
