Charlie Austin has claimed that his sending off during Queens Park Rangers' win over Burnley was "a bit harsh".
The striker was shown a second booking shortly after scoring during the 2-0 win at Loftus Road, after catching defender Michael Keane with his arm.
The 25-year-old former Clarets striker told the QPR website: "I thought it was a bit harsh. My arm was up but I didn't swing it at him. I felt it was very harsh but there's nothing I can do about that now.
"I want to play every game but in a strange sort of way a rest could do me some good. It's only a one game ban which means I wont miss many matches and it gives me a break to get ready for the West Brom match in two weeks.
"I got an assist, a goal and then sent off but I'm still delighted. It's not all about me though as the team got the three which meant it was a six-point week which was exactly what we needed."
The result lifted QPR out of the relegation zone, and two points above Burnley in the table.
