Football fans have accused Sky Sports of 'woke nonsense' after the broadcaster used the term '10-player' instead of '10-man' in a social media post.

Fans were quick to comment on a post following Burnley's match against Blackburn Rovers on the weekend.

Blackburn earned a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor in the East Lancashire derby, despite having Makhtar Gueye sent off for two bookable offences in the second half.

Sky Sports shared a clip at full-time on social media, with the broadcaster writing '10-player Blackburn Rovers continue their unbeaten start to the 2024-25 Championship season and share the derby spoils'.
