Black Stars defender, Tariq Lamptey was shown a red card as Brighton pick a vital 1-2 away win over Newcastle United to cruise into the quarter final of the English FA Cup.
The English-born Ghanaian international made the starting line up and was really having a very good game until his first yellow card came in the 29th minute after a harsh tackle on Anthony Gordon - who subsequently got a straight red card with seven minutes to full-time.
In the dying embers, Lamptey fouled Jacob Murphy for a second yellow card which means both teams were all reduced to ten men heading into the extra time.
Alexander Isak opened the scoring account in the 22nd minute but the lead was subsequently cancelled by Yakuba Minteh in the dying embers as it finished 1-1 at half time.
With six minutes to go in extra time, Danny Welbeck scored to win it for Brighton and Hove Albion who are now through to the next stage.
Tariq Lamptey has 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 16 matches in all competitions. He is most likely to make coach Otto Addo's squad for their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
