Looking to make an inswinging cross into the penalty area, Adam slipped while making his run-up. As he stumbled to the ground, the Scottish international knocked the ball outside the D with his left knee.

Unfortunately, the linesman, standing a yard away, signalled for a foul for deliberate handball and Burnley were awarded a free-kick.
