Awoniyi Faces Possible Three-Match Ban After First Premier League Red Card
Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi could receive a three-match suspension after being sent off in Coventry City’s 5-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton. Awoniyi was shown a straight red card in the 53rd minute after an aerial challenge involving Brighton defender Maxim De Cuyper. VAR reviewed the incident and upheld the referee’s decision. The 28-year-old, who joined Coventry from Nottingham Forest this summer, is yet to score in three league appearances. The dismissal is the first Premier League red card of his career, and Coventry now await the disciplinary decision.
