Nathan Collins received a straight red card for one of the worst innings of the season when his Kung-Fu kick on Jack Grealish reduced Wolves to ten men.<br /><br />As both players went for the ball on the far left of the touchline, Collins lunged at the England star with a full kick to the stomach, leaving Grealish slumped on the pitch.<br /><br />Collins pleaded not guilty, but the summer signing left referee Anthony Taylor no choice but to give the defender his running orders.<br /><br />Wolves paid £20.5m for the defender this summer, a record for an Irish-born player, and he has been an ever-present in the Premier League this season. However, he will now face a three match ban for his terror tackle.<br /><br />Speaking at half-time about the tackle, BT Sport pundits criticized the moment with Rio Ferdinand saying: "I wouldn't have too many questions about it." It's a rush of blood to the head.<br /><br />While former City star Joleon Lescott questioned what Collins was trying to do because he is not trying to clear the ball.<br /><br />Fellow pundit Rachel Brown-Finess also criticized the Centre-back, saying: "He realizes how stupid he was and how he let his team down."<br /><br />The incident after half an hour completed a first half of misery for Bruno Lage's men, which began in the first minute when Grealish opened the scoring for City with his first of the season.<br /><br />Champions City were two goals up in a quarter of an hour, when Erling Haaland scored his eleventh goal of an already remarkable season for the Norwegian striker.
