On Saturday lunchtime, Leicester City kicked off another crucial English Football League Championship clash against Charlton Athletic at King Power Stadium. The Foxes are currently in 15th judging by the live division table, with a 0-0 scoreline. In the meantime, their South London opponents sit 19th as it stands if a stalemate result remains. This is not the LCFC that their Blue Army fan base knows, loves and loyally supports.

However, they will still support the team and club legend Andy King in his new interim role on Filbert Way irrespective of evident doom and gloom. Though, unfortunately for the East Midlands outfit, their contest with the Addicks got off to the worst possible start in approximately a quarter of an hour after the referee blew the whistle to get the match underway. An even worse beginning than conceding in the fixture's infancy: a red card. It was Italian centre back Caleb Okoli who let the side down. So, what occurred exactly?

Watch Leicester City defender Caleb Okoli wreck new temporary manager Andy King's Foxes start after only 15 minutes due to a dismissal

There's always something, isn't there. City fans are absolutely used to a proverbial spanner being thrown into the works. And, as is regularly the case with this ragtag bunch of players, it was one of the LCFC stars who made the situation tougher at home for his own teammates!

With only a sixth of the entire meeting gone, Okoli pulled back Charlton forwards Miles Leaburn. Leaburn had got away from the CB on the halfway line with skill and strength on the turn. You can see the incident beneath this paragraph.

Sadly the beaten centre half completed the ultimate suicidal defending move by tugging his man backwards. This ended a goalscoring opportunity and the 24-year-old was dismissed.

Predictable disaster has now stuck. The same opponent, naturally, opened the scoring.
