The match being for charity did not mean that Clattenburg, 48, left his cards at home.

With the Sidemen 6-4 up against the YouTube All-Stars in the 78th minute, Max Fosh fouled Simon Minter.

Clattenburg promptly went over to caution Fosh.

The whistler got his yellow card out... only to be Uno reversed.

Fosh, 28, cheekily pulled out an Uno reverse card of his own, with Clattenburg subsequently withdrawing his booking.

The match was watched by a capacity 60,000 crowd at the London Stadium.

And a further 2.5million people tuned in at home on YouTube.

Many of the hordes watching loved Fosh's unique moment.

The Sidemen triumphed 8-5 in the dramatic match in East London.

Within just two hours, the game had raised £2.4million for various good causes.
