Wolves defender sent off after shocking challenge on Man City star Jack Grealish

Wolves defender Nathan Collins was sent off in the first half of their Premier League clash against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's men got off to the perfect start at the Molineux Stadium thanks to Jack Grealish's strike in the first minute of the game, with Kevin De Bruyne delivering an inch-perfect cross into the penalty area.

City doubled their lead through Erling Haaland in the 16th minute - with the Norwegian striker becoming the first player in Premier League history to score in each of his first four top-flight away games.

Things went from bad to worse for Bruno Lage's side in the first period, with centre-back Collins being shown his marching orders for a shocking tackle on City goalscorer Grealish.

As the England international attempted to control the ball, he was kicked in his chest by the Wolves man, who completely misjudged the flight of the ball.

Referee Anthony Taylor immediately went to his pocket and showed the 21-year-old a red card, despite his best efforts to argue his case.
