Francis Uzoho sees first career red in Anorthosis Famagusta win

Francis Uzoho was shown a straight red card as Anorthosis Famagusta cruised to a 3-0 win over Alki Oroklini in Monday's Cypriot First Division fixture.

The Nigeria goalkeeper who returned to the Great Lady's starting XI after a controversial debut in the Cypriot top-flight was shown a straight red card in the 23rd minute after an altercation with the visiting fans.

Goals from Vincent Bessat, Michal Duris and Danijel Pranjic gave Jurgen Streppel's side the crucial three points as they lead the relegation playoffs round.

Uzoho joined the Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos outfit on a short-term loan from Deportivo La Coruna in January and has only played two games so far.
