Chelsea's Ian Maatsen picked up crazy red card for Burnley vs Blackpool

Burnley and Blackpool’s Championship encounter on Saturday afternoon was an absolute thriller.

The two sides locked horns at Turf Moor and it was Vincent Kompany’s side who came flying out the traps in the first half or proceedings.

Burnley raced into a 2-0 lead in just the 11th minute of play, Josh Brownhill and Nathan Tella bagging the goals for the hosts.

Blackpool responded 10 minutes later through Theodor Corbeanu, but Tella grabbed his second of the game shortly after to make it 3-1 and restore the Clarets’ two-goal advantage.

Kompany’s side were unable to hold out for victory, though.

In a hugely eventful second half, Blackpool restored parity thanks to two strikes in the space of two minutes from Shayne Lavery and Jerry Yates.

The pair of goals from the visitors, the second coming in the 76th minute, was far from the end of the action in Lancashire, though.

Five minutes before the end of the regulation 90, Ian Maatsen – who is on loan at Burnley from Chelsea – and Sonny Carey were both shown straight red cards.

And the way Maatsen picked up his was absolutely crazy.

The talented left-back was enraged by a late tackle on him from Carey, so decided to floor his opponent by shoulder barging from behind as hard as he possibly could.

Needless to say, Carey was left in a crumpled heap on the turf…
