Slaven Bilic "very disappointed" with Andy Carroll after dismissal

Bilic "very disappointed" with Carroll

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has admitted that Andy Carroll deserved to be dismissed in his side's 1-1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor.

The 28-year-old picked up two cautions in the space of two first-half minutes, leaving the Hammers - leading through a Michail Antonio goal at that point - down to 10 men for the remaining hour.

Burnley managed to break West Ham down in the final stages of the match to rescue a point, as Carroll's sending-off for elbowing two opposition players ultimately came back to haunt the visitors.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, Bilic said: "I have no complaints with Andy's sending-off - he's an experienced player. With the second one you can't do that, especially two minutes after you've been booked. I haven't spoken to him yet. I'm very disappointed."

West Ham remain stuck on just two wins for the season, with three points the gap between themselves and the relegation zone.
