- Norwich suffered a 2-0 Premier League defeat at home to Burnley on Saturday
- Canaries manager Daniel Farke was unhappy after seeing two players sent off

Norwich manager Daniel Farke blamed his players for their own demise after they lost 2-0 at home to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Emiliano Buendia and Josip Drmic were both dismissed in a chaotic ending to the first half that the visitors capitalised upon with the opening goal.
Farke told Sky Sports: ‘Naive, inexperienced, stupid – all the words are right.
Norwich manager Daniel Farke was unimpressed as his depleted side lost at home to Burnley
‘It’s not acceptable. It’s not possible to win points with eight [outfield] players. We are sitting in position 20. We finished with eight players.
‘You won’t hear any excuses or blaming the referee. My players walked into the trap.’
Buendia saw red for elbowing Ashley Westwood after referee Kevin Friend watched a replay on the pitchside monitor, before Drmic endured the same fate for a rash tackle on Erik Pieters little more than 10 minutes later.
Chris Wood then put Burnley ahead before the break with an overhead kick and Ben Godfrey scored an own goal as the already-relegated hosts suffered a 10th straight defeat.
The Canaries are certain to finish rock bottom of the table just a season after being promoted as Championship winners.
