Brentford defender Nathan Collins admits skipper Christian Norgaard was hit hard by his red card in yesterday's 0-0 draw at Everton.

Everton held by Brentford despite controversial Christian Norgaard red card - The Bees centre-back was sent off following VAR intervention after catching goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on his knee.

VAR Anthony Backhouse sent Kavanagh to the screen and he overturned his original call, showing a straight red and providing Everton with a big opportunity to earn a crucial three points. The decision sparked frustration in the away dugout, where Brentford boss Thomas Frank was booked for his protests.

Christian Norgaard was sent off in the first half, but Brentford held Everton 0-0 to end their five-match losing run away from home.
