Fulham went down to 10 men against Newcastle United 22 minutes into Saturday’s game after Raul Jimenez was shown a straight red card for dangerous play.

The Mexican striker, who is in great form, was sent for an early bath after he clattered into opposition midfielder Sean Longstaff.

Challenging for the ball, the former Wolves man massively overshot his jump and collided with Newcastle’s number 36.

After a short VAR review, referee Samuel Barrott was quick to brandish the red card leaving Marco Silva to work out how his side can stay in the contest for the best part of 75 minutes.

Newcastle went on to win 3-0 thanks to goals from Lewis Miley, Miguel Almiron and Dan Burn in the second half.
