'I'm embarrassed' - Harrogate boss after 3-0 defeat by nine-man Carlisle

Carlisle United's task before their game against in-form Harrogate Town - 10 places and 11 points better off than them in the National League - looked a difficult one.

And although the Blues took an early lead against the visitors, who were on a five-game winning run, they then had former Arsenal player Miguel Azeez sent off after just 14 minutes.

Their mission became even more difficult when they were reduced to nine men after 30 minutes when fellow midfielder Harvey Bunker was also shown a straight red card.

It meant Carlisle were two men light with 60 minutes to play against the side sitting second in the National League table.
