PEPE has been sent off for the second time in 14 games after throwing a fist at a Sporting Lisbon player.<\/p>\n

The Porto defender is known for going into the referee's book due to his hot-headed reputation.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Pepe, 40, was facing Sporting on Monday evening in a massive Primeira Liga clash.<\/p>\n

The veteran defender lashed out at wing-back Matheus Reis while positioning the ball for a free-kick.<\/p>\n

The Sporting star bumped into the back of the former Real Madrid man who then responded by swinging his fist backwards, catching his opponent's face.<\/p>\n

The incident was initially missed by referee Jo\u00e3o Pinheiro but was caught on a VAR check.<\/p>\n

Pinheiro was left with little option but to give Pepe his marching orders for the 16th time in his career.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese ace walked off sarcastically clapping the official.<\/p>\n

Porto were already behind in the game as a former Coventry star Viktor Gyokeres netted in the first half.<\/p>\n

Just nine minutes after Pepe's red card the scoreline got worse as Pedro Goncalves bagged Sporting's second goal.<\/p>\n

Porto boss S\u00e9rgio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o admitted that the decision was "correct" after the match.<\/p>\n

The manager even claimed that he saw Reis "bleeding", however, did insist that Pepe was "provoked".<\/p>\n

He said: "I see that the expulsion is correct.<\/p>\n

"I didn't see the play in detail, but I saw that Matheus Reis was bleeding.\u00a0But there is always this huge provocation.<\/p>\n

"Pepe is a man who has given us so much and will continue to do so.\u00a0We are all with him."<\/p>\n

It is the second time this season that Pepe has seen red having been dismissed in the Supertaca against Benfica.<\/p>\n
