Jeff Hendrick's 20th appearance of the Premier League season lasted just six-and-a-half minutes at Vicarage Road against Watford.
The Ireland international was sent-off for a tackle on Watford's Jose Holebas.
6 - Jeff Hendrick's red card (6 mins) was the quickest in the PL since March 21 2015 (Gareth McAuley for West Brom v Man City 2 mins). Bath.

It was the beginning of a bad few minutes for Burnley, as Troy Deeney gave Watford the lead just four minutes later.
On BBC's Final Score, Trevor Sinclair called Hendrick's challenge 'cowardly'.
Definite red card. Really, really cowardly challenge. No intention of playing the ball and he'll be disappointed with that Hendrick.
Cowardly is certainly and incendiary and debatable description of the tackle. Though, there's little doubt that it was not good.
Trevor Sinclair was not impressed with Jeff Hendrick's challenge. #bbcfootball
