      Ex-Man Utd star Memphis Depay sparks mass brawl with cheeky trick as FOUR red cards are handed out in derby clash

      by

      BRAZILIAN football lived up to its typically feisty and manic reputation as Corinthians won their first title in SIX YEARS.Former Manchester United star Memphis Depay was involved in sparking a mass brawl during his side’s 1-0 aggregate win over rivals Palmeiras. A mass brawl unfolded during Corinthians’ clash with Palmeiras on Thursday nightCredit: XAnother incident saw Corinthians defender Felix Torres avoid a card for a foul on Vitor RoqueCredit: xPalmeiras manager Abel Ferreira was left fuming at the decisionCredit: xHe was sent off for his protestsCredit: xTorres was sent off just five minutes later for a second yellow card after another horror challengeCredit: xA hectic second leg saw FOUR red cards and 13 yellows dished out to players and coaching staff over the course of the match.Corinthians had taken a 1-0 lead into the second leg, defending a goal advantage at home to win the title and putting up a fight to do so.That lead was almost thrown away when Palmerias were awarded a penalty in the 68th minute following a rash tackle by Felix Torres.The 28-year-old went straight through the back of Vitor Roque and the referee had no choice but to point to the spot.READ MORE ON MAN UTDUnbelievably, Torres got away without being booked, having already seen yellow in the first half – sending Palmerias manager Abel Ferreira into a meltdown on the touchdown over no red card being shown.Ironically, Ferreira’s fuming outburst saw him shown red by the referee instead.To make matters worse, Palmeiras captain Raphael Veiga missed the spot kick and Corinthians stayed in front.Boss Ferreira was soon vindicated though, as Torres was shown a second yellow card just five minutes later for another shocking tackle on Roque.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFrom there, Corinthians were doing everything they could to hold on to their lead and run down the clock – including time-wasting tactics.That saw Depay try and pull off a little bit of showboating by the corner flag to tick things along, but instead his showy trick caused a mass brawl as tempers boiled over.Memphis Depay balanced on top of the ball to waste timeCredit: xThe showboating saw him shoved off the ballCredit: xPlayers from both sides immediately clashedCredit: xMore players swarmed in and got involvedCredit: xThe insane brawl resulted in another two red cardsCredit: xMillwall fan is beaten up by gang of Crystal Palace supporters after confronting rivals in Selhurt Park standsDepay, who joined the Brazilian league in September, balanced on the ball to prevent the opposition defender from nicking it off him.The former Barcelona star was shoved off the ball as a result and a mass brawl between both sets of players ensued.Players from both sides and the substitutes warming up on the sidelines came together in a moment of madness.While the crowd inside the Corinthians Arena sparked into life at the sight of the fracas.The quarrel was subsequently reviewed by VAR, resulting in Palmeiras substitute goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba and Corinthians midfielder Jose Martinez, who had already been substituted, being shown red cards.Over 18 minutes of additional time were added by the officials at the end of the game, but Corinthians ultimately got over the line to keep the score to 0-0 on the night to win their first title in six years.Depay got the last laugh after helping his side win the titleCredit: EPA More

      by

      TOTTENHAM are monitoring the latest Brazilian sensation to come out of Palmeiras.The Sao Paulo-based club have become one of the country’s best producers of talent in recent years.Marcus Vinnicius is wanted by TottenhamCredit: www.palmeiras.comPalmeiras have sold Endrick to Real Madrid in a fee that could rise £50m, Luis Guilherme to West Ham for £25m and Estevao Willian to Chelsea for £47m.And now, 17-year-old left-back Marcus Vinnicius is catching the eye of Spurs.Wolves, Newcastle and Benfica are also interested in the wonderkid.Vinnicius – who can also play as a winger – is set to sign his first professional contract with Palmeiras this summer until June 2026, with an extension until 2029 already on the table.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe sales of Endrick, 17, Guilherme, 18, and Estevao, 17, have banked Palmeiras over £120m, and the club view Vinnicius as another big money-maker.Vinnicius is expected to have an £85m release clause in his contract, but Palmeiras are open to negotiating a deal for any interested party from Europe.Several scouts from the continent were present to watch him in a tournament in Ecuador last month that Palmeiras would go on to win.Vinnicius arrived at Palmeiras in 2022, despite major interest from Flamengo, Internacional and Atletico Mineiro, after impressing in the Goias youth team – a club where former Chelsea, Brazil and Portugal manager Luiz Felipe Scolari made his name.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSTottenham could be close to sign another wonderkidPalmeiras director of youth Joao Paulo Sampaio worked hard to convince the club to bring in the highly-rated Vinnicius, having also found Endrick, Guilherme and Estevao.Spurs’ recruitment drive is currently focusing on young talents.SunSport’s Latest Euro 2024 headlinesThey already brought in 18-year-old midfield duo Archie Gray from Leeds and Lucas Bergvall from Swedish side Djurgarden.Tottenham’s top 10 biggest signings: Hit or miss?1) Tanguy Ndombele – £52.7mNdombele joined from Lyon in 2019 with huge expectations after shattering Tottenham’s transfer record.But he would go on to play just 91 times for the club, scoring 10 goals and is now set to leave one year before the end of his contract.2) Richarlison – £49.3mRicharlison almost broke the £50m mark when he arrived from Everton in 2022 as Harry Kane’s back-up.And while his tally of 12 goals this season was a significant increase on the three from his opening Spurs campaign, he is being linked with a departure this summer.3) Brennan Johnson – £46.8mJohnson was signed by Ange Postecoglou last summer and has impressed in patches during his first season in North London.He scored five goals and 10 assists in 38 games and will look to build on that in the 2024/25 campaign.4) Cristian Romero – £44.2mRomero initially joined on loan from Atalanta in 2021, before his impressive displays saw him secure a permanent deal the following year.He is two games shy of 100 for Spurs and, while he can be reckless with his tackling at times, is beginning to form a promising partnership with Micky van de Ven.5) James Maddison – £39.4mMaddison was handed Kane’s No10 shirt after arriving at Spurs and hit the ground running with three goals and five assists in his opening 11 matches.But after getting injured against Chelsea in October, he failed to return with the same sharpness – managing just five goal contributions in 15 league matches as he missed out on England’s final 26-man squad for the Euros.6) Davinson Sanchez – £35.7mSanchez joined Spurs from Ajax in 2017 and played more than 200 games across a six-year spell.But he was always considered a somewhat erratic defender who did not play more than 20 games in a Premier League season from 2020 onwards.7) Pedro Porro – £34mPorro was another signing who originally arrived on loan in January 2023, before he signed permanently last summer.He has 54 appearances for Spurs under his belt, scoring seven goals and impressing under Postecoglou this season.8) Micky van de Ven – £34mRapid Dutch centre-back Van de Ven was named Spurs Player of the Season in his first campaign at the club.His pace, athleticism, and technical ability on the ball have made him arguably Postecoglou’s best signing to date.9) Moussa Sissoko – £29.8mSissoko came to North London for a substantial fee after being relegated with Newcastle and went on to enjoy five years at Tottenham, playing more than 200 games.Unfortunately for the French midfielder, he is best-known for giving away a controversial penalty for handball in the first minute of Spurs’ 2-0 Champions League final defeat to Liverpool in 2019.10) Giovani Lo Celso – £27.2mLo Celso joined on loan from Real Betis in 2019 – a deal that was made permanent the following season.He has 10 goals and eight assists in 108 games, with some Spurs fans still unsure about the Argentine.
