And he was headed for an early shower a mere ten minutes later for a needless act of simulation.
Bissouma was given his marching orders by referee John Brooks for trying to win a free kick in first-half stoppage time..
The Ivorian flopped to the floor as he feigned contact on the edge of the box.
Brooks saw straight through the 27-year-old’s theatrics and didn’t hesitate to send him packing with a second booking – his SIXTH of the season.
Footie fans couldn’t quite believe their eyes and flooded to X (formerly Twitter) to express their shock.
One wrote: “So unnecessary from him.”
Another said: “Yves Bissouma: certified moron.”
And another said: “Simulation and stupidity.”

One remarked: “Bissouma that was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Clearest dive.”
Another chimed in: “Disgraceful from Yves Bissouma, a rightful red card.
“There’s no place for diving in the Premier League.”
One frustrated Spurs fan even mentioned the Ivorian and said: “You’ve been so good this season.
“But today you’ve let us down big time!”
Former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas didn’t mince his words when criticising Bissouma’s theatrics.
The 40-year-old said: “He’s dived, he’s got what he deserves.”
Bissouma’s costly antics have left Spurs having to play 45-plus minutes of the match with ten men.
