Ashley Barnes lucky to escape red card after appearing to stamp on Matteo Guendouzi

Ashley Barnes was fortunate to escape a red card for what appeared to be a stamp on Matteo Guendouzi.

The Burnley forward was running around like a man possessed, trying to get his side back into the game.

And in one aggressive tangle with Guendouzi, it seemed like his emotions had got the better of him.
