Leicester midfielder Dewsbury-Hall apologises for Aston Villa red

Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has apologised for his red card during last night's defeat to Aston Villa.

Two bookings in the space of six minutes saw Dewsbury-Hall sent off on 70 minutes.

"I apologise for tonight," the 24-year-old wrote on social media. "It's a mistake I shouldn't make at a crucial time. I'll do all I can to make it up."

Foxes caretaker manager Adam Sadler said afterwards: "We've said to the players before the game that it's a 10-game season, whether Mike and I are here to see that through remains to be seen. That's a club decision.

"But every game at this stage has the same importance. We have to be prepared, we have to be ready for the fight, we have to have a plan, and we have to give it everything we've got, and that's what we intend to do."
