Shkodran Mustafi Bizarrely 'Sent Off' 15 Minutes Before The Game Even Started

Shkodran Mustafi was 'sent off' 15 minutes before the game against Watford even started.

WHAT?!

Of course, it was a mistake or some sort of glitch. Arsenal sent a notification to fans claiming the defender had been sent off prior to kick-off.

But Arsenal promptly sent another message clarifying that he hasn't actually been red carded.

Bizarre.

Arsenal fans took to social media thinking what the f*ck just happened:

The German international then put his side in front with a brilliant header courtesy of a sublime free-kick from Mesut Ozil.

It's his third goal of the season, and Arsenal's 1000th home Premier League goal.
