Watford forward Kwadwo Baah was sent off on Thursday after he taunted the travelling Portsmouth fans by performing the ‘Take the L’ Fortnite dance.

The 21-year-old was shown a second yellow card in what was a controversial game at Vicarage Road.

After defender Zak Swanson handed the visitors an early lead, Edo Kayembe equalised from the penalty spot, although replays showed contact between Kwadwo Baah and Freddie Potts occurred outside the box.

That incident took place in the front of the Portsmouth supporters, who were understandably aggrieved by the turn of events.

And things got even more heated after the full-time whistle, when Baah celebrated Watford's last-minute winner from substitute Rocco Vata by performing the ‘Take the L’ Fortnite dance in front of the away section.

As you can see from the footage below, a number of Portsmouth players chased Baah before referee Geoff Eltringham brandished a second yellow.

In his post-match comments, Pompey boss John Mousinho said if Baah was one of his players, then he might never play for him again as a result of what he did in front of the travelling support.

Watford manager Tom Cleverley was far from impressed with Mousinho's comments.

“There was a group of players who kept their heads during the second half, and I think that was radiated from our bench,” he said.

“And there was a group of players who lost their heads in the second half, and that was radiated from their bench.

“I think that John should maybe look at his own behaviour, and I will deal with Baah internally. I’m disappointed in John’s comments as I thought his own behaviour was what ultimately cost his team in the second half.”

It's fair to say Mousinho was unimpressed by Eltringham's performance on Boxing Day.

"The penalty is the penalty, I thought the refereeing performance overall, particularly in the second half, was well below the standard we end at this level - and we have fallen victim to it," he said.

"If you look at just before the penalty, Mattie Pollock drags Colby Bishop down on the edge of the box, nothing’s given. It’s very, very strange to be honest, the whole performance.

"At the time I thought it wasn’t a penalty because the referee didn’t give a penalty, I don't know how it has been given, so we’ve got to look back and watch it again."
