'Man City should've had two red cards' - Dyche furious with refereeing in Burnley thrashing

A hugely frustrated Sean Dyche felt two Manchester City players should have been sent off and accused the Premier League champions of cheating as his Burnley team were battered 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Goals from Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane saw Pep Guardiola's side ease to victory on Saturday.

Yet City's second goal, scored in the 54th minute, was controversially given as the ball appeared to go out of play after Burnley's defence paused in anticipation of a call from referee Jon Moss following a challenge on Sane.

Dyche highlighted that incident as a key moment and was also unhappy with Moss' decision to only book Vincent Kompany for a high tackle on Aaron Lennon in the opening minute.
