Former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho will be happy and love the drama in Norway.

A Norwegian top-flight match took a bizarre turn when a physio was sent off for entering the pitch to treat an injured player.

The incident happened in a match between Sarpsborg 08 and Brann, where the physio, Joao Ferreira, was shown a red card after initially being booked for running onto the field.

The incident sparked a heated exchange between the two teams, with players from both sides involved in a minor scuffle. The match eventually ended in a 1-1 draw.

The red card for the physio has raised questions about the role of medical staff in matches and the potential implications for player safety.

The unusual occurrence comes amid a backdrop of fan unrest in Norwegian football.

Earlier in the day, a match between Rosenborg and Lillestrom was abandoned due to repeated pitch invasions and protests against the use of VAR.

The players exited the field as the stadium announcer warned that additional stoppages would result in the game's cancellation. Less than thirty minutes into the match, both sets of fans threw more tennis balls onto the pitch, leading to the abandonment of the game.
