Burton Albion manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes Aaron Collins "dived" to win the free-kick that led to Conor Shaughnessy's first-minute red card against Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
Collins pounced on a loose ball after just 20 seconds and referee Ross Joyce deemed he was tripped on the edge of the box by Shaughnessy, denying the Gas a clear goalscoring opportunity. A red card was shown, Antony Evans scored from the resulting free-kick and Joey Barton's side romped to a 4-0 win at a sun-soaked Pirelli Stadium to open their account in League One this season.
But Hasselbaink believes the Gas were fortunate to have the man advantage.
