Nicolas Nkoulou was shown his first Serie A red card in Torino’s 0-0 stalemate with SPAL on Sunday.
On the back of a three-game winless run, the Bull bounced back to winning ways against Inter Milan last week but their effort to commence to a run was frustrated by Leonardo Semplici’s side.
Nkoulou's sending off with 25 minutes to play did not help their cause either.
The Cameroon international was cautioned by referee Maurizio Mariani in the 33rd minute before he was sent off in the 65th minute for another booking.
The red card was Nkoulou’s fourth in his career, having been sent off twice during his time with Marseille and once at Lyon.
