Out of favour Super Eagles and West Bromwich Albion striker, Osaze Odemwingie  was shone the red card yesterday as his team fell 0-3 at Craven Cottage with his coach Steve Clarke lamenting  a slow start against Fulham.

Odemwingie, who vowed to learn from the mistake that cost him the card,  was shown a straight red card in the 38th minute, when Fulham were just one ahead, and Clarke admitted it had been a tough day at the office.

“It is obviously disappointing. We started the game slowly and I was disappointed with that. We allowed Fulham to control the game,” the Baggies boss told Sky Sports.

“We deservedly went a goal down and the sending-off of Peter compounded the problems we had and made for a long afternoon.”

Clarke refused to be too critical of Odemwingie, saying: “We are all human, everybody has got emotions.

“He thought he had a free-kick against him, the red mist obviously came down and he will take his punishment.

“He will get his three-game ban and the club have got a disciplinary process we will go through, and we move on. In football it happens, people get sent off.”
