Burnley West Ham Share points

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic was “disappointed and also mad” with Andy Carroll after the striker was dispatched in their draw at Burnley.

Chris Wood’s header five mins from time negated Michail Antonio’s opener to rescue a factor for Burnley as West Ham played most of the competition with 10 guys.

Carroll, 28, was sent off in the 27th min when he was scheduled two times in the room of 99 seconds for utilizing his arm joint.

“I have no complaints with Andy’s sending off – he’s an experienced player. I’m very disappointed and angry,” Bilic said.

“With the second one you can’t do that, especially two minutes after you’ve been booked. It was an unbelievable bad decision (from Carroll). Losing Andy was a big blow for us.”

 

 

England forward Carroll was sent for 2 bookings in fast sequence for the very same offense of using his arm joint.

There showed up little intent from Carroll to wound either Mee or James Tarkowski, with his eyes seemingly chosen the ball.

However after getting the initial reservation from Stuart Attwell, Bilic’s post-match assessment suggests he feels the former Liverpool demonstrator must have revealed a lot more calmness.

Carroll was lucky West Pork reacted positively to being reduced to 10 men with a stout protective screen, but his dismissal patently made it harder for the Hammers to keep the lead given to them by Antonio.

And with psychological and physical degrees reduced after betting so long a male down, former Leeds ahead Timber actioned in to reject the site visitors three points.
