Burnley’s Dara O’Shea gets ‘dumbest booking ever’ inside first minute against Bournemouth

Fans could not quite believe how quickly Burnley's Dara O'Shea received a yellow card against Bournemouth on Sunday.

O'Shea was cautioned just 25 seconds into the match for heading the ball away as Dominic Solanke was about to take a throw-in.

It can be counted as one of the quickest yellow cards in Premier League history, but was just shy of Scott McTominay's record of 24 seconds.

Fans on social media were baffled by his stupidity.

One wrote: "That has to be the dumbest booking ever from Dara O’Shea."

Another said: "O’Shea what a stupid yellow card."

A third wrote: "O’Shea wins d***head of the day already."

Burnley's start went from bad to worse as Justin Kluivert put them 1-0 up shortly after.

O'Shea didn't cover himself in glory for the goal either, with him and centre-back partner Maxime Esteve leaving a ball over the top for each other.

Kluivert latched onto the ball, O'Shea dives in and is rounded thanks to the forward's dummy, who then fires home.
