In this case it's a video of Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie stamping on a fan. The footage comes from Tuesday's Championship play-off semi-final, where Sheffield United were beaten on penalties by Nottingham Forest fans in their second leg at the City Ground.

When Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba denied Sheffield United's Morgan Gibbs-White shot to win the series, many home supporters invaded the pitch to celebrate, and mayhem ensued.

There is now footage on social media where it seems to be that McBurnie is jumping and stamping on a Forest fan.

McBurnie has since taken to Twitter, denying any stomping and claiming he was trying to step over the fan.

While McBurnie isn't a stranger to controversy, it must be said that this was far from the sole incident at the match, as this comes after Forest fan Robert Biggs has been given a 10-year ban from football after being caught headbutting Sheffield United player Billy Sharp.
