Sheffield United are hosting Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and the match has seen a red card inside the opening 15 minutes. 

The Blades are looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time this season having defeated Luton Town last time out but that looks unlikely now after Mason Holgate received a straight red for a horrendous tackle on Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma.

The defender caught the Japanese winger with a very high and very hard tackle with the Seagulls star lucky not to have picked up a serious injury.

The tackle is certainly one of the worst seen this season and Roberto De Zerbi can be thankful that his player is alright.
