    João Gomes Sent Off in Aston Villa's 4-0 Defeat to Brighton

    Aston Villa's new signing João Gomes had a debut to forget as he was sent off in the first half of their 4-0 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League. The Brazilian midfielder, who joined Villa from relegated Wolves for £38m, received a straight red card for violent conduct after kicking out at Georginio Rutter. This made him the first player in over 14 years to receive a first-half red card on his Premier League debut for a club. Villa were already 4-0 down when Gomes was sent off, with Brighton scoring through a goal against, De Cuyper, Hinshelwood (twice), and a fourth goal finished by Hinshelwood after Gomes lost the ball in the area. Gomes will now miss Villa's upcoming fixtures against Arsenal, Hull City, and Nottingham Forest.
