Things Got Heated A Bit This Week

Things got a bit heated this week in international football.

First, the big story was French phenomenon, Kylian Mbappe, being red carded for shoving Nime's midfielder, Teji Savanier, to the ground in a match earlier this week.

Mbappe was reacting to a challenge by Savanier.

Mbappe, however, has no regets.  He told the press the day after the incident that he'd do it again.

Savanier also was red carded.

There was also a red carded incident in the Premier League this past weekend.

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford was sent off in Sunday's (Sept. 2) match against Burnley for head butting Phil Bardsley.

Manchester defeated Burnley 2-0, snapping their losing streak.

Since Manchester United won their match this week, the focus turned towards West Ham United.

West Ham were seconds away of picking up their first point of the season when Adama Traores scored for Wolves in injury time to give his team the win.

The fans booed the West Ham players off the field.

West Ham is 0-4 with no points and are dead last in the Premier League.

Liverpool, Watfield, and Chelsea round out the top three in the standings with 4-0 records.

No club football this week as the leagues go on their first international break of the year.
