Keeper sent off for elbowing opponent, incredibly claims no intent (video)

Matt Stanger

If this is what “no intent” looks like then we’d hate to get a genuine elbow from Luke Daniels.

The Scunthorpe stopper floored Burton’s Mark Duffy on Saturday with a nasty blow to the winger’s cheek.

Daniels, who has a Premier League appearance to his name for West Brom, was rightly shown a red card and a penalty was awarded to Burton who went on to win the game 2-1.

Rather unbelievably, Daniels then took to Twitter after the game to claim that he didn’t mean to elbow his opponent.

It must have been a misplaced pat on the back then…
