Lamptey received his marching orders after sliding into Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy
Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey was sent off during the FA Cup fifth-round game between Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United.
The Black Stars right-back received his marching orders after sliding into Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy late into regulation time, earning his second booking in the game.
Meanwhile, the hosts opened the scoring through Swedish forward Alexander Isak, who converted from the spot after 22 minutes.
Brighton and Hove Albion responded 22 minutes later through Gambian star Yankubah Minteh.
However, with seven minutes remaining, Newcastle’s Antony Gordon received a straight red card after a moment of madness with defender Van Hecke.
The game was forced into extra time, where English-Ghanaian striker Danny Welbeck netted a fine winner after lobbing the ball past Martin Dubravka.
