Burnley's Sean Dyche wants increased punishments for diving

Burnley boss Sean Dyche called for a review of diving protocols after Huddersfield's Rajiv van La Parra took an "unacceptable" tumble in pursuit of a penalty.

Both sides walked away with a point after gritting their teeth for a goalless draw at Turf Moor but the Terriers might have won it had referee Christopher Kavanagh been taken in when Van La Parra hit the turf after instigating contact with Matt Lowton.

Town boss David Wagner accepted the Dutchman was deserving of both his booking and a fine, but Dyche came in with a full-blooded tirade.

"It would have been an absolute farce," said the Clarets manager about the prospect of a spot kick.
