Burnley 2-1 Millwall

Burnley came from behind to beat struggling Millwall in an ill-tempered match that saw four men sent off.

Jermaine Wright's deflected effort put the visitors ahead.

Millwall's Ben May was sent off at half-time for an alleged racist comment and Jody Morris and James O'Connor saw red following a clash after the break.

Nathan Dyer's 18-yard shot drew Burnley level and Wade Elliott's half-volley won it while the Lions also had keeper Andy Marshall sent off after the match.

Millwall manager Colin Lee said:
"The ref has sent off Ben May (at half-time) for racially abusing Frank Sinclair.

"We deny that, Frank Sinclair denies it and (Burnley manager) Steve Cotterill denies it.

"Of 30 people in the tunnel there was one person who heard my player verbally abuse Frank Sinclair. For some reason, the ref thinks he heard him say that."

Burnley manager Steve Cotterill:
"Frank said he hasn't heard anything. If Ben May does appeal against it, that's fine. If Frank wants to put together a letter, that's fine."
