Dyche rues refereeing decisions in opening day defeat

Decisions from match officials played a huge role in Burnley's 1-0 defeat against Swansea City, according to a disappointed Sean Dyche.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has put the blame on key refereeing decisions that left his team in the position to fall victim to a late winning goal from Swansea City midfielder Leroy Fer on Saturday.

Michael Keane came close to giving the hosts the lead in the second half at Turf Moor on their Premier League return after getting on the end of a corner delivery, but the Clarets boss believes that he was impeded while trying to do so.
