Michael Hector makes nightmare start to life in Germany with a red card in each of his opening two games

Chelsea loanee Michael Hector has now been sent off in both of his opening two games for Bundesliga outfit, Eintract Frankfurt.

The Jamaica international was dismissed for the second consecutive game, against Schalke in the league on Saturday, yet his new club remain unbeaten so far this season.

The 24-year-old was shown the red card against the Royal Blues for bringing down Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar when he was through on goal.

But with his side already 1-0 up when he was sent off in the 79th minute - courtesy of an Alexander Meier goal in the 13th of their home match - his team-mates held firm for the victory.
