Nathan Collins of Wolves was given a straight red card for his careless tackle on Manchester City playmaker Jack Grealish, in which he drove his studs into the latter’s midriff. Twitter is blasting with memes about Nathan Collins Kick.
The incident happened just over 30 minutes into Saturday’s Premier League match at Molineux, when the home team was already down 2-0. Before Collins, in a fit of insanity, leaped off the ground to try to grab a bouncing ball and connected with the England star’s chest, Grealish opened the scoring and Erling Haaland was on the scoresheet once more.

Nathan Collins Kick: Kung Fu Collins
After giving Jack Grealish of Manchester City a kung fu kick, Wolves defender Nathan Collins was accused by fans of watching “too much Cobra Kai.”
For the reckless tackle on the England midfielder, the defender received a straight red card, leaving his team at Molineux with just 10 players and behind the visiting team 2-0.
In the 33rd minute, as the Irishman charged in with his boot elevated, the ball bounced up for Grealish. He completely missed the ball and instead hit the stomach of the Englishman with his studs.
