James Maddison hit the turf, heard the peep of the referee's whistle and immediately rubbed his hands over his face and looked down to the ground. He knew the impending punishment and he knew it was utterly deserved.
In the space of 124 seconds, Leicester's young playmaker brought an end to his own afternoon and, in doing so, created all manner of problems for his team. With Leicester already trailing to an early Glenn Murray goal, Maddison's two thoughtless acts saw Claude Puel's side reduced to 10 men with only 28 minutes on the clock.
Maddison is a bright and prodigiously gifted 22-year-old, who has broken into the Premier League and England's international set-up in recent months after a £22m summer move from Norwich, but this display of petulance and deceit is a backwards step.
