David Beckham has been accused of deliberately getting a player sent off.

Real Mallorca's Sergio Ballesteros was dismissed towards the end of his side's 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid last week.

Ballesteros got a second yellow card after he slapped Beckham in the face, but television pictures showed the England captain had stood on his foot.

"I fell into Beckham's trap - he was craftier than me. His stamp on my foot was not noticed, but my slap was seen by everyone," said Ballesteros.
