Masuaku sees first Premier League red in West Ham draw

Arthur Masuaku was sent off for the first time in the Premier League as West Ham United drew 0-0 with Aston Villa on Monday night.

The 25-year old received a yellow card in the 23rd minute and then got his second booking for a late lunge on Ahmed Elmohamady in the 67th minute.

The challenge on the Egypt international happened less than a minute after he was introduced for Jota.
