This Knockaert challenge on Adam Smith (GIF VIDEO BELOW) resulted in the Brighton star seeing red at a crucial juncture in his side’s game over the weekend. The Knockaert red card v Bournemouth came in the 69th minute for an ugly challenge on Adam Smith. Terrible time to get sent off, given that Brighton are very much candidates for the drop at this moment
Brighton 0-2 Bournemouth (Knockaert red card against Bournemouth 69)
Very disappointing as him giving the ball away had also effectively lead to Ryan Fraser’s goal.
Awful challenge too. Will miss Cardiff game as well. Only saving grace I suppose, is that Cardiff lost to Burnley, otherwise absolute squeaky bum time.
A yellow for me.
