Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski is responsible for an early contender for craziest red card of the season after being dismissed against Portsmouth.

After Luton were blitzed 4-1 by Burnley on their return to the Championship last week, Rob Edwards' side looked to collect a first victory in their second game of the season against Portsmouth.

But their goalkeeper didn't do them any favours after picking up an utterly bizarre red card in the first half.

29 minutes into the lunchtime clash at Fratton Park, Kaminski was booked for time-wasting.

Two minutes later and he received a second caution following an inexplicable moment of madness.

Kaminski, who made 145 saves in the Premier League last season, charged out of his goal and took out two opposition players in the same sequence, leading to the referee giving him his marching orders.

He first brought down Paddy Lane when the ball was played over the top and after an advantage was played, Conor Ogilvie was clattered into by the Belgian.

Kaminski's decision-making was slammed by former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie, who was providing punditry for Sky Sports.

"I don’t know what he’s actually thinking, to be fair, because he’s just been booked moments before for time wasting," Hendrie said.

"It was a long ball over the top, Paddy Lane runs into the space (before being hacked down) and you can see the defenders quite clearly are there to cover him (Kaminski).

"But it’s rash and it’s his second card, so that’s an early shower, early bath, if you like, and backs against the wall for Luton."

Down to 10 men, Luton had to bring off captain Carlton Morris for second choice goalkeeper James Shea.

The former Arsenal academy shotstopper kept a clean sheet as Luton claimed a 0-0 draw and a first point of the new campaign.

With Kaminski suspended, Shea will again be in the sticks next Saturday when the Hatters travel to Preston North End.
