And the Portsmouth star left his Wales team a man down before the end of the first half.

One viewer claimed: “Joe Morrell just stopped some Turkish player having kids Card for Morrell.”
A second tweeted: “Ridiculous from Morrell. Just daft.”
A third wrote: “Silly from Morrell. Game is gone.”
A fourth commented: “And I hope that’s the last time we ever see Morrell in a Wales kit.”
A fifth said: “Wales reduced to 10 men yet again! A straight red from the ref after a foolish challenge from Joe Morrell. Not good at all.”

Former Wales striker Nation Blake slammed the challenge as “dangerous” as he was unable to defend Morrell.
He told BBC Radio Wales: “It is hard to defend that, it is so high, that is a dangerous tackle no matter how you try to dress it up.
“That has absolutely swung this game in Turkey‘s favour.”
