Duff relieved to continue Burnley relegation fight

Burnley defender Michael Duff was relieved to have his red card rescinded ahead of the important relegation clash against Hull City on Saturday.

The 37-year old defender was shown a red card after giving away the penalty that gave West Ham United a 1-0 victory last time out and is now available for the do-or-die clash with the Tigers.

Duff said: "I was frustrated with myself for making a bad decision and giving the penalty away but it was much more of a surprise when the red card came my way.

"Thankfully it has been rescinded and I am available to play this weekend.

"It was a blow playing that length of time with 10 men but it's ifs, buts and maybes. We'll never know what would have happened so we just move on."

A defeat this weekend confirm the Clarets' relegation to the Championship but the Lancashire club still have a chance of survival if they can overcome the Tigers.
