Referees are often accused of 'evening things up' by awarding a penalty to a team who earlier conceded one.

However, a referee in Russia flew in the face of such wisdom recently by awarding one side as many as THREE penalties in just TWO minutes.

The dubious awards were all handed out minutes apart, with each one looking more suspect than the last.

After the first two are missed, the third is finally tucked away - bringing an end to the official's generous run.

The reaction of a despondent player at the bottom left of the screen after 45 seconds is priceless.
