Everton news: The Morgan Schneiderlin red card vs Lyon was disgraceful, says Jenas
Everton were knocked out of the Europa League in France, going down 3-0 to the Ligue 1 side.
After a goalless first 68 minutes, the hosts struck three times in the last quarter of the game.
Schneiderlin was given his marching orders with 10 minutes of the match remaining, receiving a second yellow card.
