Super Eagles forward, Taiwo Awoniyi was shown a straight red card as his Coventry were battered 5-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon. The dismissal followed his elbowing of Brighton's Maxim de Cuyper in the face while attempting to challenge for an aerial ball. Referee Tony Harrington immediately showed Awoniyi a straight red card, with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) reviewing and supporting the decision. His dismissal left the Sky Blues with 10 men, allowing Brighton to take control and eventually secure a 5-0 victory at the CBS Arena.
