sport news Oli McBurnie 'is asked to attend a meeting with Nottinghamshire police' after ... trends now
Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie has reportedly been requested to attend a meeting with Nottinghamshire police after shocking footage emerged of him appearing to stamp on a pitch-invading Nottingham Forest fan.
McBurnie, 25, has denied the stamp on Twitter but according to Sky Sports News, he will be arrested if he doesn't attend voluntarily.
The incident occurred in Tuesday's Championship play-off semi-final. United were beaten on penalties in their crucial second leg at the City Ground, failing to secure a showdown with Huddersfield in the Wembley final later this month.
After goalkeeper Brice Samba denied Morgan Gibbs-White from 12 yards to send Forest through, jubilant home supporters invaded the pitch to celebrate their victory - but there were some unsavoury scenes.
Sky Sports cameras picked up the horrifying moment United striker Billy Sharp, 36, was sent tumbling to the floor after being headbutted in the technical area by an onrushing fan.
Robert Biggs, 30, has since been jailed for 24 weeks and banned from football for 10 years after pleading guilty at Nottingham Magistrate's Court.
Yet Sharp was not the only victim of an attack during the pitch invasion, as footage circulating on social media appearing to show team-mate McBurnie jumping and stamping on a Forest supporter in the midst of a melee.
The disgraceful clip, posted by Twitter user @brokenkingmusic, seems to capture the fan in question falling to the ground before McBurnie comes in with a furious stamp as he lays helpless on the floor.
