Albion striker Ashley Barnes deserved his red card against Burnley, according to a former top ref.
But Dermot Gallagher believes Burnley captain Chris McCann was fortunate not to be sent-off as well.
Barnes was dismissed for the first time in his career for stamping on McCann 12 minutes into nine-man Albion's 1-0 defeat by Burnley at The Amex on Saturday.
Gallagher, speaking on Sky Sports News today, said: "It was a terrible tackle and Ashley Barnes deserved a red card but Chris McCann was lucky not to get a red card for his reaction to the tackle."
