Bissouma: Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder disappointed to be sent off against Newcastle United

Yves Bissouma has expressed his disappointment after he was sent off in Brighton and Hove Albion’s 3-0 victory over Newcastle United in Sunday’s Premier League game.

The 24-year-old was handed his second Premier League start in the 2020-21 season at St James' Park but did not live up to expectations, as he was shown a red card for the second time in his career.

Neal Maupay’s brace and a strike from Aaron Connolly ensured the Seagulls clinched all three points away from home.

Bissouma was given his marching orders in the 89th minute of the encounter by referee Kevin Friend, having been cautioned earlier.
