QPR midfielder Joey Barton was booked for a Premier League record seventh successive match in his side's clash at Sunderland on Tuesday.

The notoriously feisty former Manchester City and Newcastle star was shown the yellow card in the 75th minute after fouling Sunderland winger Adam Johnson. The 32-year-old had previously been booked against Crystal Palace, Swansea, Burnley, Manchester United, Stoke and Southampton.
