LONDON (Reuters) - Newcastle United manager John Carver said he thought defender Mike Williamson got himself sent off "on purpose" during the 3-0 Premier League defeat at Leicester City on Saturday.

The centre half barged Leicester striker Jamie Vardy to earn a second yellow card after 62 minutes, incurring the wrath of his manager who is under intense pressure after Newcastle's eighth defeat in a row left them in danger of relegation.
