West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has admitted that Andy Carroll deserved to be dismissed in his side's 1-1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor.
The 28-year-old picked up two cautions in the space of two first-half minutes, leaving the Hammers - leading through a Michail Antonio goal at that point - down to 10 men for the remaining hour.
Burnley managed to break West Ham down in the final stages of the match to rescue a point, as Carroll's sending-off for elbowing two opposition players ultimately came back to haunt the visitors.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, Bilic said: "I have no complaints with Andy's sending-off - he's an experienced player. With the second one you can't do that, especially two minutes after you've been booked. I haven't spoken to him yet. I'm very disappointed."
West Ham remain stuck on just two wins for the season, with three points the gap between themselves and the relegation zone.
