Villa winger Albrighton denies getting Wolves' Henry sent off

Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton denies getting Wolves midfielder Karl Henry sent off.

Former Wolves skipper Henry was given a straight red card for kicking out at Albrighton during the second half of Villa's 3-2 win at Molineux.

Albrighton said: "It (the kick) was pretty hard and it winded me. It's something I wouldn't want again.

"It hurts, definitely, when I read the papers on Sunday and Monday. It does hurt a lot, especially when people in the crowd call you a cheat when I was the victim, on the floor getting kicked.

"But that's football, part and parcel of the game these days, and you have to take the criticism thrown at you. It spurs you on to do even better when people are booing you and calling you a cheat."
