West Brom manager Carlos Corberan bemoaned a momentary defensive lapse after West Brom’s 1-1 draw with Blackburn at The Hawthorns.
The Blades began the game well and took the lead through Oli McBurnie but were soon on the back foot after Chuba Akpom equalised and Cameron Archer scored a brace.
The Blades boss said: "I don't like getting sent off and it was right that I was sent off.
"My frustration and anger is that we see that every game and I'm having conversations with referees all the time.
"We've got three real good ball carriers in James McAteer, Iliman (Ndiaye) and Sander (Berge), who are continually fouled. My point to the referees is that they're going to have to go down.
"If Macca goes down, we get a foul, and the lad gets booked. I just hate the way the game's going with that.
"We're rewarding the wrong behaviours. That was the reason for my reaction, and it's cost me now."
Heckingbottom rued his team's failure to capitalise on their openings.
"We weren't at our best, however we still did more than enough if you're looking at chances," he said.
"Goals will always change games, you know. We missed our opportunities and we got punished at key moments."
