Watch two teammates get red cards for fighting ... each other

Published Dec. 9, 2016 1:05 p.m. ET

When it comes to sports, there's good team chemistry. There's also bad team chemistry. And then there's Preston North End's team chemistry, which apparently is as stable as dropping a roll of Mentos into Diet Coke.

Preston North End teammates Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle were both sent off in the closing minutes of a 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, and the reason in absolutely ridiculous. The duo got into a scuffle, but not with their opponents. Nope, not with a ref or some unruly fan. Those scenarios, although disgraceful, are at least believable. Instead, Doyle and Beckford went at each other.

Here's what precipitated the kerfuffle, via BBC Sport:

The question is: Did they both go to the same locker room?
