Burnley boss Sean Dyche viewed the red card for Fernandinho, shown in the 32nd minute after the Brazilian jumped into a tackle on Johann Berg Gudmundsson, as "a sending-off by modern standards'' and said he could see nothing wrong with his side's goal, with there only being "honest challenges'' from them as it was scored.
Dyche also suggested Bacary Sagna, who was booked, should have been dismissed over an incident involving the City defender and Burnley's George Boyd shortly after Mee's goal.
"I think it is a tough one, because they have given the goal, Boydy is trying to get the ball, the linesman probably is a long way from it and the I think referee is running back towards the centre,'' Dyche said.
