Joao Felix played just under an hour of his Premier League debut before being given his marching orders, but 11 players have been shown a red card sooner.
We’ve ranked them…
22) Clint Hill (For QPR v Bolton – 90+4)
QPR’s first Premier League game at Loftus Road for 25 years saw them concede four goals and culminated in Hill pushing his head into Martin Petrov’s chest and walking down the tunnel.
21) Laurent Koscielny (For Arsenal v Liverpool – 90+2)
It’s fair to say this was a bit of a fallow period for Liverpool and Arsenal as David N’Gog and Marouane Chamakh led the respective lines, but Koscielny would go on to make a further 352 appearances for the Gunners having been shown two yellow cards in stoppage time of his first.
20) Neil Kilkenny (For Birmingham v Liverpool – 84)
With five first-team midfielders absent, 19-year-old Kilkenny stepped in, pawed a ball away on the goal-line, got sent off, only for Djibril Cisse to score the resulting penalty and secure a point for Liverpool.
19) Tomas Repka (For West Ham v Middlesbrough – 80)
A true nutcase and we mean that in the nicest way possible, Repka was red-carded on his debut, suspended, then red-carded again in his next game. He was also jailed for fraud in 2019 after selling a car he didn’t actually own.
18) Gervinho (For Arsenal v Newcastle – 76)
He wasn’t the first and won’t be the last person to want to slap the stupid smile off Joey Barton’s face.
17) Aliou Cisse (For Birmingham v Arsenal – 74)
The Qatar World Cup’s best dressed was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Ashley Cole which was later rescinded.
16) Kalifa Cisse (For Reading v Chelsea – 72)
“If I had not pulled my leg at the end, he could break my leg,” Claudio Pizarro insisted, after Steve Coppell claimed the Chelsea forward had “made a meal” of Cisse’s tackle. Without seeing the incident it’s clear from those two disparate interpretations that it both was a red card and not a leg-breaker.
15) Federico Fazio (For Tottenham v Manchester City – 67)
Fazio pulled Sergio Aguero back in the box to gift City their third penalty in a game of four spot-kicks, two of which were saved. Aguero scored all four goals for City.
14) Derek McInnes (For West Brom v Manchester United – 64)
Shown a yellow card in the 63rd minute of West Brom’s first ever Premier League game before a straight red in the 64th for a lunging tackle on Nicky Butt.
13) Bernardo Corradi…
