  WHAT HAPPENED?

  West Brom midfielder Molumby was brought down with a rough challenge by Mallorca's Samu Costa after which the two players confronted each other as they went head to head. Costa tried to shove Molumby with his hand before the Republic of Ireland international landed a right-hand punch into the opponent's face. The duo then grappled each other and went down to the ground and it took some time before they could be separated. The referee eventually decided to send off the players with direct red cards.
