If this is what “no intent” looks like then we’d hate to get a genuine elbow from Luke Daniels.
The Scunthorpe stopper did his best Jon Jones impression as he floored Burton’s Mark Duffy with a nasty elbow to the winger’s cheek.
Daniels, who has a Premier League appearance to his name for West Brom, was rightly shown a red card and a penalty was awarded to Burton who went on to win the game 2-1.
Rather unbelievably, Daniels took to Twitter after the game to claim that he did not mean to elbow his opponent.
Absolutely devastated. No intent but also no excuses. I have let the fans, staff and players down today. Can’t apologise enough!!

Must have been a misplaced pat on the back then.
