Charlie Austin furious at Joey Barton red card

Hull City 2 QPR 1: Charlie Austin has vented his frustration at QPR captain Joey Barton’s costly sending off against Hull.

Barton was dismissed just 32 minutes into a crunch clash at the foot of the table having aimed a low blow at Tom Huddlestone.

Barton insists he was only guilty of overdoing his defence of 19-year-old Darnell Furlong but after Hull bagged a vital 2-1 win courtesy of Dame N’Doye’s 89th minute header, his actions could have grave implications for QPR’s relegation battle.
