Dyche slams 'embarrassing' Depoitre for diving incident

Burnley manager Sean Dyche hit out at Laurent Depoitre after the Huddersfield Town forward was booked for diving in their 1-1 draw.

Sam Vokes' first-half goal was cancelled out by Christopher Schindler at Turf Moor on Saturday, leaving Huddersfield winless and Burnley five points clear of the relegation zone in the Premier League.

But Dyche was unhappy with Depoitre, who was shown a yellow card for diving just before the hour-mark.

"It won't make a difference by showing a yellow card. He could do it again next week," he said.

"That's embarrassing, absolutely so. Anyone in pro sport at all – I just can't work it out, we're not talking gamesmanship or cleverness or someone clipping you and then they go down.
