‘The red card was deserved’ – Brighton’s Yves Bissouma on Steve Mounie’s expulsion

The African stars were involved in a challenge at the John Smith's Stadium that resulted in the sending off of the Benin striker

Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has defended referee Michael Oliver's decision to show Huddersfield Town striker Steve Mounie a straight red card in Saturday's Premier League match.

Mounie caught the leg of Bissouma with his studs and was sent off - his first red card in the English Premier League - as the Seagulls fought back from a goal deficit to a 2-1 victory.

“What happened? Well, just as you saw. There was a foul,” Bissouma told The Argus.
