Cardiff were 3 - 1 down when Anthony Taylor was harshly given a straight red for a professional foul just inside his own half despite three other City defenders being close by.
Rhys Weston was booked for protesting and then just 5 mins later was yellow carded for a foul on Bas Savage and his second yellow turned to red as he was dismissed.
A crowd of over 700 watched the game. Danny Thomas scored City's consolation after they were 3 - 0 down.
