Frank Lampard received only four red cards in his 867 games as a player but it's taken just a month for him to be sent off as a manager.
Lampard was sent to the stands late on in Derby County's frustrating defeat to Rotherham United on Saturday.
The Derby manager let his emotions get the best of him in a dramatic second half at New York Stadium and the referee's patience soon wore thin.

Ryan Manning opened the scoring for the hosts from the penalty spot and it ultimately proved decisive as Rotherham claimed all three points.
