Reece James becomes the first English player to be sent off on his senior debut

Chelsea’s talented full-back, Reece James was sent off after he exchanged some words with the Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano right after the match ended. The clash between England and Denmark saw the visitors win 1-0 with Christian Erikson scoring the only goal via penalty.

It could be well emotional and a disappointing defeat for James, as he was the stand-out performer of the match. His red card made him the first-ever England international to receive the red card on senior debut as per Goal Reports.

As the England coach said, the red card overshadowed his performance and it was more surprising as the red card was received after the match ended. It can be well is seen how he wanted to prevent his team from the defeat as he had to be calmed down by his England teammates so that he doesn’t violate any game rules.

The England team was fighting hard with 10 men on the field as Manchester United captain was shown the second yellow card of the match and sent off. His performance impressed legend Gary Linekar who urged the England coach to give more chances in the senior team.

Also, it was the first time ever since three players have received a red card in a single year for England. Earlier in this year against Iceland, Kyle Walker was red-carded.
