Wanyama: CF Montreal star receives first MLS red card against Atlanta United

The Kenyan was shown the way out in Wednesday’s ill-tempered game against Rob Valentino's Five Stripes

Victor Wanyama was sent off for the first time in his Major League Soccer career as CF Montreal played to a 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

The encounter produced three red cards, as the Kenya international was sent off in the closing stages of the league encounter.

With eight minutes to full-time, Wanyama was dismissed by referee Dave Gantar alongside Josef Martinez who were involved in a punch-up.

Although the Venezuelan forward was the first to attack, both players were shown the way out after VAR replays.
