Many West Brom fans have been left to slam Semi Ajayi after the central defender picked up a very silly red card in the first half away at Burnley.

He was adjudged by VAR and referee Mike Dean to have deliberately handled the ball which stopped Matej Vydra from going through on goal.

As he was denying a possible goal-scoring opportunity, the 27-year-old was shown a straight red card by Dean and thus given his marching orders.

It is a game that Sam Allardyce's men really need to win if they are to have any sort of hopes of surviving relegation from the Premier League, but Ajayi let his team down by giving the referee a decision to make, and thus his action has not gone down very well with several members of the Hawthorns faithful.
