Pepe at lowest ebb

Real Madrid defender Pepe has been left devastated and disillusioned with football in the wake of Tuesday’s derby clash with Getafe where he “lost control” after conceding a late penalty and being sent off.

Pepe was shown a red card and had to be escorted off the pitch by team-mate Iker Casillas after twice aiming kicks at the prone Javi Casquero, who he had just pushed over to concede an 87th-minute spot-kick. He also struck Juan Albin in the face.
