I think he threw his arm. It&#8217;s not one of those where you&#8217;re using it to elevate yourself. I think there&#8217;s extra in that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The former Premier League striker continued to reveal that he believes McBurnie could have been sent off for the first challenge, which saw him given a yellow card.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#8216;He should have got the red for the first one,&#8217; Sutton continued. &#8216;That&#8217;s two reds really. He&#8217;s got two yellows but the first one, that&#8217;s a red card. It&#8217;s violent conduct. The second one is just as bad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;What an idiot. His team are 2-0 down, they&#8217;re struggling and the manager&#8217;s under pressure and he goes and does that.
