Lehmann sees red for fourth time
Jens Lehmann, the German international goalkeeper, has set a dubious record by being shown a red card for shoving his Borussia Dortmund team-mate, Marcio Amoroso. Lehmann became the first Bundesliga goalkeeper to be sent off four times in his career.
"It doesn't matter of it's a rival player or a team-mate," said referee Herbert Fandel, who showed Lehmann his second yellow card in Saturday's 2-2 draw between Dortmund and Schalke 04.
Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich moved closer to another title with a 2-0 victory over lowly Nuremberg on Saturday. A first-half header from Bixente Lizarazu and a strike from Giovane Elber after the break helped Bayern extend their lead over second-placed Dortmund to 10 points.
In France, the leaders Marseille gained a 2-0 victory over struggling Lille as challengers Paris St-Germain slumped to a clumsy 3-2 defeat at Guingamp on Saturday.
The former Everton striker Ibrahima Bakayoko converted a cross from Manuel Dos Santos in the first half and Pascal Johansen netted a free-kick in the 80th minute to give a resurgent Marseille three points.
