Newcastle United's Fabian Schär has become the first player to be sent off in the 2024/25 Premier League season after a coming together with Ben Brereton-Diaz.
With Newcastle's tie with Southampton at 0-0, Brereton-Diaz barged into the back of the Newcastle defender after the ball had gone.
As Schär got up again, he and the Chilean international had a coming together in which Schär was judged to have headbutted Diaz, who fell to the floor.
Though VAR checked it, they upheld the referees decision and left the home side down to 10 men.
Can they still get their season off to a perfect start?
