Chris Sutton slams 'idiot' Oli McBurnie for 'losing his head' after Sheffield United striker was sent off for TWO elbows in Premier League clash against Burnley

Chris Sutton has slammed Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie after he was sent off for two bookable offences.

As the Blades took on Burnley in a six-pointer at the bottom of the Premier League, they knew that a win was crucial to ease the pressure on Paul Heckingbottom.

However, the game ended in a 5-0 defeat for the newly promoted side in what could prove to be the manager's last in charge.

At 2-0 down, McBurnie picked up a yellow card for an alleged elbow before being sent off for a second bookable offence, as his elbow made contact with a Burnley player once again, just nine minutes later.
