BRIGHTON captain Lewis Dunk became the first player in 15 years to be sent off for dissent during a game.<\/p>\n
The Seagulls skipper was sent off for arguing with referee Anthony Taylor over a harsh penalty decision against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Dunk, 32, was sent off with 20 minutes to go with Brighton managing to hold on to secure three points with a 3-2 victory at the City Ground.<\/p>\n
He was initially shown a yellow card for dissent but just 12 seconds later a red was held up.<\/p>\n
The straight red for\u00a0"offensive, insulting or abusive language" will be punished with a two-match ban.<\/p>\n
The last time a player was handed a straight red for dissent during game time was Alan Smith for Newcastle when the Magpies were beaten 6-0 by Manchester United in January 2008.<\/p>\n
Former Sunderland star Lee Cattermole was shown a red for dissent in March 2012 against Newcastle but this was given after the final whistle.<\/p>\n Attitudes towards officials have been amplified this term with Mikel Arteta and Mauricio Pochettino among those to criticise refereeing decisions in recent games.<\/p>\n Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi also chipped in on the matter and said: "I am honest and clear – I don't like 80 per cent of England's referees. <\/p>\n "It's not new. I don't like them. I don't like their behaviour on the pitch."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BT BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Before Dunk's dismissal, Brighton were 3-1 up but Morgan Gibbs-White's late goal had the Seagulls fighting till the last minute.<\/p>\n The Italian boss also refused to shake Steve Cooper's hand after their win in Nottingham.<\/p>\n De Zebri said after the match: "Today the spirit and soul made a difference.<\/p>\n "We have good players and are a good team and we always have to show this character.<\/p>\n "We have a lot of injuries at this time and it is one of the toughest moments in my career so that was a big celebration.<\/p>\n "We are very happy and I am proud of the attitude and character we showed in a really tough moment."<\/p>\n<\/picture>POINTS PENALTY <\/span><\/p>\n
