'This penalty thing... I am confused by what is and what isn't': Sean Dyche left fuming after Burnley were denied an early spot-kick against Chelsea after Edouard Mendy's rash challenge on Ashley Barnes

Sean Dyche was left fuming after Burnley were denied a penalty after a rash challenge by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the opening minutes of Saturday's game at Turf Moor.

Mendy caught Ashley Barnes as he raced out to meet the Burnley player who was clean through on goal following a mistake by Kurt Zouma - but the follow-through went unpunished because the contact came after the striker had already lobbed over the goal.

It didn't wash with Dyche. 'This penalty thing in the Premier League. I am confused by what is and what isn't,' he said after his side's 3-0 defeat.
