The New York Red Bulls striker will miss next week's big showdown versus Atlanta United after a suspect yellow card late in Saturday's win versus TFC
Bradley Wright-Phillips was four minutes away from another big New York Red Bulls victory and a week to get ready for the biggest game of the MLS regular season, against Atlanta United.
Then came a run-in with an assistant referee, with a yellow card for dissent triggering a one-match suspension for New York's star forward.
Referee Kevin Stott's decision to issue Wright-Phillips a yellow card for shouting expletives at assistant referee Brian Poeschel left Wright-Phillips and Red Bulls coach Chris Armas irate at a decision that will now leave the Red Bulls without their star striker for next Sunday's battle for first place in MLS.
