After the birth, Lucas brought down the midwife by pulling her shirt from behind and was shown the yellow card by the doctor on call, his wife then passed him the newborn baby, Lucas then passes the baby back sideways to the doctor who then decided to book Lucas again which means he is now suspended for the Arsenal game in 2 weeks time.
