Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray accepted his dismissal in victory at West Ham United.
Murray struck twice in the 3-1 win.
Murray, who will now miss Tuesday's clash with Southampton through suspension, said he was guilty of a number of "stupid fouls" in the lead up to his dismissal by referee Mike Dean.
"Obviously it's great to get a couple of goals but I'm disappointed to get sent off, it was just a reaction and I think the referee was almost waiting to send me off after a few stupid fouls," he told Sky Sports.
"I gave him that option and he took it. We spoke about it at half-time - 'don't make a challenge' - and I managed not to outside the box but it was just a reaction inside the box unfortunately.
"He just said there'd been a few little fouls and he'd kept having to stop the game so he'd said: 'no more'."
