Man Utd Loanee Eric Bailly Shown Red Card After Horror Tackle Sent Opponent To Hospital
Olympique Marseille defender Eric Bailly was shown a red card for a brutal challenge in their Coupe de France game against Hyeres on Saturday afternoon.
The Ligue 1 giants went into the game against the fourth-tier side as big favourites.
But Les PhocΓ©ens were reduced to ten men after Ivory Coast centre-back Bailly was sent off after a bad tackle on Moussa N’Diaye inside the opening 15 minutes.
In a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, Bailly channeled his inner Nigel de Jong with a shocking high boot to the chest of N'Diaye in the early stages of the game.
The Manchester United loanee immediately received his marching orders from the referee without any VAR intervention.

N’Diaye, who plays for Mauritania national team, could not continue as he was stretched off and loaded into an ambulance and rushed to hospital.
According to RMC, noted by Get French Football News, the 26-year-old is currently stable but will undergo complementary tests in the hospital.
