Phil Parkinson felt referee Andy Haines was right to send off Brentford keeper David Button.

Haines showed a straight red after Button went in high on Nahki Wells. City went on to win 4-0 against ten men.

Brentford are considering an appeal against the decision but Parkinson thought the official was spot on.

He said: "I thought it was one of those tackles that can injure someone seriously."

Wells picked up a slight shoulder injury but was unable to continue until later in the game - and scored his seventh goal of the season.

James Hanson scored twice and Garry Thompson also headed home.
