Mike Williamson: Newcastle player says red card not deliberate

Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson has denied he deliberately got himself sent off during Saturday’s 3-0 Premier League defeat at Leicester.

The centre-back, 31, was shown a second yellow card for barging into Jamie Vardy when they were off the pitch.

Manager John Carver said after the game he thought Williamson had done it on purpose as “an easy way out”.

“There was absolutely no intent to hurt Jamie or get sent off,” said Williamson.
