Ethan Ampadu has fans in stitches with his reaction to Jonathan Hogg getting sent off

Leeds’ Ethan Ampadu has fans in stitches with his reaction to Huddersfield’s Jonathan Hogg getting sent off for a second bookable offence.

It came in the fourth minute of additional time at the end of the first half, with Jonathan Hogg – already booked for that earlier tackle on Crysencio Summerville – raising his arm as he attempted to leap for a high ball and catches Georginio Rutter in the face.

Ampadu could be seen reacting hilariously by looking at the referee, and then turned to face Hogg and nodded in agreement at the decision and then told him where to go.

Jon Newsome (Former Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds): “Of course, Jonathan Hogg would argue his case and say it wasn’t a red. If you bash someone in the face with your elbow and you’re on a yellow…you’re gone. Obviously the right decision.”

It came moments after Michal Helik put the Terriers ahead on 45 minutes. Jack Rudoni won a corner out wide down the Town left and Sorba Thomas’ free-kick was met by Danny Ward.

Illan Meslier managed to keep out his initial effort but Michal Helik was there to net the rebound, making it nine for the season for the Poland international.

On 67 minutes, Leeds finally found a leveller at the John Smith’s Stadium having dominated in possession – boosting hopes that they could go on to claim a club-record 10th straight league win.

Patrick Bamford was in the right place at the right time to apply the finish on a low from Connor Roberts’ skidding ball.

Very lucky Hogg didn’t get a straight red. Intentional elbow to the face. You tell him Ampadu. Get him fucked off. https://t.co/Bh0JGWCUbB pic.twitter.com/OE7QLoVAeF

Huddersfield’s Andre Breitenreiter:

“The boys did a fantastic job today to play over 60 minutes with a player less. It’s very hard against Leeds with their quality. They did a really fantastic job. They showed hard work, hard fight and good discipline in defending.

“Until the 45th minute we made it hard for them, we pressed high and went into the lead with a set-piece. But the red card was unnecessary. We have to take the right decision so we made a substitution at half-time.

“It’s a derby and we spoke before the game about keeping clear heads, but derbies are full of emotion. He knows about his mistake. He apologised. As a leader he’s fantastic, but next time please not again.

“The players were fantastic and can be proud of their performance. We can be happy with this point and thank the players for their performance.”

Leeds’ Daniel Farke:

“I’m far away from punishing my players for their performance. We have won 28 points out of the last 10 games so I won’t criticise them because they didn’t have their best game. Individually they didn’t have their best day. But you have to expect that sometimes.

“We have to draw a line under that pretty quickly. It’s difficult when a team defends and that’s all they do.

“It was a quick turnaround for us and the pitch was not easy to play. We created chances, we got the equaliser, but it was a bit like a cup game with how scrappy it was.

“We had to rely on the offensive players to put the ball into the net. We should have won, Summerville hit the post. But we have to accept the point.”

As mentioned, Ethan Ampadu has fans in stitches with his reaction to Jonathan Hogg getting sent off…

@pjw19681: Straight red never been a 2nd yellow. Only gets a 1 match ban and it should be 3

@TheMagpie009: 😂😂 Ampadu proper Leeds that

@DeanJWell13LUFC: Haaaaa. Ampadu with the little ‘yeah fuck off 👉’ to Hogg. 🤣🤣

@LUFCLivin: Just realised Hogg not only got himself sent off but injured his own teammate cause he went to foul Summerville 🤣

@HarryMerrell_: Chanting Leeds are falling apart again then Hogg gets a second yellow 🤣 Football poetry #lufc

@lufc1919ER: Off you pop.

@ChrisLUFCBarry: “Fuck off” 😂😂😂

@PhilThumbs: Said exactly what we all thought 👍👊 Ampadu

@Toneball29: Go on, fuck off 😂 #lufc

@tommy_lufc: Gruev with an underrated cameo there too. #lufc

@the_kid_ben: Love it 🤣

@AIILeedsArentWe: this is so good honestly haha, it’s the way he just turns away afterwards like ‘anyway, let’s get on’

@JF_____________: I’ll forever hate Jonathan Hogg after today, what an absolute moron. #itfc #lufc #htfc

@WitlessWolrab: I laughed at that

@Dondons87Donna: Ampadu shit housing at its finest 🤣🤣🤣 #lufc #mot 💙💛

@DaveDuracell: Ampadu to Hogg on that replay 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “yehyeahhhhhh…… F*** OFF” as he points to the tunnel 🤣🤣🤣 class #lufc

@Kriztofa: lost count how many times i’ve seen that hogg get sent off against us

@lufcjaack: Get the fuck off the pitch Hogg you dirty cheating bastard #LUFC

@MGB8man: That red card was always coming. The question was whether it was going to be Hogg or Pearson. #LUFC

@jamesonrgb: Hogg, Kasumu and Pearson should’ve all been sent off for 2 yellows in that half. Annoying that Huddersfield can foul Leeds players without worrying about conceding from the free kick because we’re so bad at set pieces. Then conceding from a set piece rubs salt in the wound. #LUFC

@SteedOfSteel: Hogg absolutely thick as mince! and they should actually be down to nine. Gone quite all of a sudden! 😂😂😂 mot ⚽️ #lufc #ALAW

@ConorWilson2: I can’t put into words how much I love this!

@marksmith2112: Well in, Taff!! 😂

@MOTMrM: Red card for Hogg. And about f’ing time. Fully deserved. Raised arm into face of Firpo. C’mon Leeds, make it count. #lufc #mot #alaw

@LeedsUFaithful: Horrible player. Deserved it, knew what he was doing. Pearson should have gone as well.

@iziz_verheul: Ampadu Man of the Match for this and for this alone #LUFC

@h1867x: lucky it’s a second yellow and not a straight red. you lot wont go down though

@Louie_MFC: Hogg getting sent off was coming hahahha

@RhysLufc: Hogg might js be the worst captain bros got sent off in their biggest game of the season and injured one of his own players #HUDLEE

@ODJLovesFooty: Hogg sent off, serves him right for setting up Deeney years ago you twat 👍🏻

@GuyDBradley: It was a stupid thing to do but wasn’t as bad as Bamforth elbow to Rudoni and he got nothing! This ref has given us cards for nowt and refuses to book them. Gnonto should have had a yellow for persistent fouling

@ChelleLUFC: Haha 😂😂 I loved that

@CLUFC1975: Fully deserved. Scumbag of a bloke

@AlanMilnes2: Hogg off 🤬 The good thing though is that he’s now out for a few games. If he had any loyalty to the club, he’d admit that he’s up against younger, faster players every week and it’s really showing.

@mhardysport: You’ll rarely see a player so keen to get sent off as Hogg. Awful challenge before this on Summerville could have been red as well.

@TomCarnduff: Passion in your biggest game of the season easily gone into pure stupidity from Huddersfield. Staggering it took this long for someone to get sent off. Dumb, dumb decision from Hogg.
