Brighton & Hove Albion’s Tariq Lamptey was given his marching orders in the FA Cup fifth round tie against Newcastle United after receiving his second yellow card.
The young Ghanaian full-back’s dismissal will result in a one-match suspension, forcing him to miss Brighton’s upcoming league game against Fulham.
Lamptey, who has been gradually establishing himself as a key player for Brighton, had been enjoying a consistent run of games. However, his momentary lapse in discipline has now put him on the sidelines for the Seagulls’ next Premier League outing.
The 22-year-old’s sending off will undoubtedly be a setback for both Lamptey and Brighton, who have been relying on his pace and energy down the right flank.
Despite this setback, Lamptey remains a promising talent with a bright future ahead. He will be eager to learn from this experience and bounce back stronger in his next appearance for Brighton.
