He was too upright tackling Pumas fullback Juan Cruz Mallia, who was coming down from a leaping catch. They collided heads, and referee Mathieu Raynal initially yellow-carded Curry.

But the yellow was upgraded to red after a bunker review because Curry had clear line of sight on Mallia and no mitigation.

Curry became the first England player to be sent off at a men’s World Cup, and the fourth England player to be red-carded this year.
