Wolves defender Nathan Collins was shown a straight red card after a reckless challenge on Jack Grealish which saw him thrust his studs into the Manchester City playmaker's midriff.
The incident occurred just over half an hour into Saturday's lunchtime Premier League clash at Molineux, with the hosts already trailing 2-0. Grealish opened the scoring and Erling Haaland was on the scoresheet yet again before Collins, in a moment of madness, leapt off the ground to try and claim a bouncing ball, connecting with the England star's chest.
Referee Anthony Taylor wasted no time before giving the Republic of Ireland international, 23, his marching orders. Collins trudged off the pitch with a dejected expression before pleading his innocence with fourth official Tony Harrington at the touchline, but there was no need for a pitchside monitor check after his brutal tackle.
