But the game will be remembered by the actions os referee Mike Riley, who sends off two players from each side during a crazy six minute spell towards the end of the second half.

Campbell gave Hull the lead after a quarter of an hour, as his tame shot squeezed under the body of Brian Jensen and rolled over the line.

And it was 2-0 when Garcia's thunderous effort from 40 yards beat Jensen, as it arrowed into the top corner.

The win was nothing more than the home side deserved, as Burnley were outfought in every department.

But the game turned nasty when Steven Caldwell and Caleb Folan clashed in the Burnley box, with Folan handed a straight red for an alleged elbow.

Caldwell was also booked for his part in the incident, and within minutes, he had received his second yellow card, thus following Folan down the tunnel.

And in another off the ball incident, this time in the Hull box, Jay-Jay Okocha was brandished with a straight red card after a clash with Joey Gudjonsson, with the Icelandic international following him off the field after also being sent off.

But as it was, Burnley lost the game in the opening half hour, as their play-off hopes suffered a major setback.
