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
