Leigh winger Adam Higson was red carded for a an extremely reckless tackle on Gareth O'Brien during the Super League loss to Salford.

The Red Devils led 24-18 after 54 minutes when they threatened down the right wing through O'Brien.

The full-back tried to put Kris Welham over in the corner but his pass floated over the sideline, O'Brien was then caught late and high by Higson in a tackle that looked like something out of the WWE

After speaking with his officials, referee James Child gave Higson his marching orders.

Salford won the match 36-22.
