#4 The penalty call…
Bernardo Silva won the penalty for the opening goal of the game and the Portuguese international did receive some flak for exaggerating his fall. Referee Roger East pointed to the penalty spot straight away and though the dive made it look a bit over the top, Pope’s attempt to get the ball did impede Silva.
The Burnley players were furious with Silva’s theatrics but at the end of the day, it was a penalty. However, considering the way Silva went the extra mile to ensure his side won the spot kick, the referees in the future might mark him and be stricter in awarding penalty.
Sean Dyche’s side will be disappointed they didn’t defend it better as it brought their unbeaten away run to an end.
Dyche didn’t mince his words after the game and said, “We had one (penalty appeal) not given against Chris Wood last week for more contact than there was today.
“If I was with my kid in the garden and tripped him, he wouldn’t fall over like that, let’s put it that way.
“I am fed up talking about the amount of simulation – and I don’t know why they call it that when it’s cheating.
“There is a touch (on the player) today though, and the problem is that the rules say if there is a touch, he has to give a penalty.”
