Sunderland midfielder Luke O'Nien says he will learn from his mistake which led to Chris Mepham being sent off in the Black Cats' 1-0 defeat by Sheffield United.
A loose pass from O'Nien inside his own half was seized on by Blades striker Tyrese Campbell and he was brought down just outside the box by Wales defender Mepham, who was given a straight red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
"Listen, I put my hands up for Mephs getting sent off," O'Nien told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"I just got caught in the middle there and, like all mistakes I've made throughout my career, I will watch it back, learn from it and get better.
