Matt Lowton was sent off in injury time for a rash challenge on Calum Chambers.

As a result, the Burnley defender will be ruled out of their important relegation decider.

The 32-year-old right-back rushed forward in the opening of four minutes of additional time as the Clarets sought a stunning winner.

However, his eagerness got the best of him as he went after the ball after a hard touch.

Aston Villa defender Chambers goes for the ball as reckless Lowton charges in at tremendous speed and might easily injure his opponent.

VAR John Brooks investigated the event but decided to stick with the on-field judgment.

However, some Twitter users were skeptical and felt it was too severe, considering the very small sample size.
