LUIS SUAREZ took out his frustration after being sent off by shoving a VAR monitor over.<br /><br />The Almeria star saw red while during the LaLiga fixture against Real Sociedad.<br /><br />The game ended 1-0 to Sociedad but their task was made easier after Suarez was dismissed in the 34th minute.<br /><br />The Colombian was given marching orders for a high foot on Robin Le Normand after VAR has intervened.<br /><br />Referee Pablo González Fuertes had originally only given him a yellow card, but VAR stepped in, and the punishment was upped to a red card.<br /><br />And the striker was less than impressed with the decision as he argued with the fourth official after leaving the pitch.<br /><br />He then took his protests further as he then shoved the VAR monitor to the ground as he headed to the tunnel.<br /><br />Fans backed his anger against the decision online as one said: "Never a red."<br /><br />A second commented: "That’s not a red card. A genuine attempt to win the ball and caught him with the inside of his foot.<br /><br />"Wasn’t even studs up. As for the ‘injury’ maybe if they didn’t wear playing card-sized shin guards they’d actually have some protection."<br /><br />Saurez will now be suspended for the next match against Real Valladolid as well as the season finale against Espanyol.<br /><br />He will be a big miss for his side in the relegation six-pointer as he has eight goal contributions in 21 LaLiga appearances this season.<br /><br />Former Manchester United and PSG star Edinson Cavani produced a similar moment during the Qatar World Cup when he knocked a VAR monitor over after Uruguay were knocked out.
