Sheffield United’s Anel Ahmedhodzic was sent off after grabbing the throat of Coventry City forward Norman Bassette.
After putting in a tackle that sent Ahmedhodzic tumbling, Bassette walked back over to the defender before sending him into an angry frenzy that saw the Championship match descend into chaos.
Bassette, who scored Coventry’s opener, may count himself lucky as he did initiate contact first but was only booked for his role.
Footage shows the Sky Blues star shouting down at the number 15 and touching the back of his throat as he lay on the floor.
Sheffield United were leading the game 2-1 as the scuffle began during the 44th minute.
Tyrese Campbell opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a lovely fox in the box finish, getting on the end of a blazing low cross from Crystal Palace loanee Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.
Bassette then levelled the score with his first goal for the club, stretching to bounce home a whipped cross from Josh Eccles.
Provider then turned scorer as Rak-Sakyi, first time, hit a low curling burl away from an outstretched Bradley Collins to ripple his bottom left corner.
It seemed like the Blades would be able to hold on, but Bobby Thomas scored in the 80th minute to make it 2-2.
The defender found himself unmarked as a pinpoint corner was sent in and headed past a rooted Michael Cooper.
When asked about how Ahmedhodzic feels, Wilder responded: “I don’t care. He’s let us down so he gets it.
“I think it was instigated pretty much in terms of the lead up even from the off. Anel shouldn’t get sucked into and he’s fell for the old free card trick. But the boy stood over him and Anel does what he does and you can’t hide away from that.
