Most often, last defenders get sent off for tactical fouls that deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Any player may be sent off for "Denying an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity by an act punishable by a Free Kick". Referees abbreviate this to "DOGSO-F" in their notebooks.
DOGSO-F misconduct is often caused by the last defender pushing a passed attacker from behind, tripping him up, or trying to deflect the ball with his hands as a last-ditch effort to prevent a goal.
