Wolverhampton Wanderers may now move for another free agent to add to the arrival of Diego Costa, after Nathan Collins saw red against Manchester City on Saturday, according to journalist Dean Jones. Bruno Lage’s side were comfortably beaten 3-0 by the reigning Premier League champions and a moment of madness from their summer recruit made the day even worse.
Following their win against Southampton, hopes will have been high among supporters at Molineux that they would be able to pose a challenge to Pep Guardiola’s side.
But any chance of that happening had vanished before half-time. First, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland fired City into a commanding 2-0 lead before Collins’ horror challenge.
As Grealish received a pass on the left wing, the former Burnley man came charging in with a high challenge to the England attacker’s midriff, earning him a first-half red card.
