Mumbai City's Sehnaj Singh and the Dynamos' Matias Mirabaje both butted heads, literally, in a match that had no festive cheer whatsoever. Maybe they were just exchanging pleasantries.

With Mumbai 2-0 up and the first half coming to an end, Sehnaj, who was playing at right-back in this match, battled for the ball with Mirabaje down Delhi's left channel. Both players went tumbling over, but then Sehnaj did his best Jinder Mahal impression as he proceeded tog grab Mirabaje by the throat with both his hands, probably saying 'Merry Christmas.'

Mirabaje predictably didn't take too kindly to it and retaliated with a headbutt, probably wishing Sehnaj 'Happy new Year.' The referees have come under the scanner quite a bit so far in the ISL, but today it was the correct call to send them both off. Straight reds saw both teams reduced to 10 men.

Mirabaje was seemingly not done with Sehnaj as he chased him down the tunnel for some afters. There might be some fines coming after this game.
