'Impossible' that Tottenham Hotspur's Moussa Sissoko stayed on - Dyche

LONDON -- Burnley manager Sean Dyche said it was "impossible" that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko escaped a red card moments before setting up the goal that sealed a 2-1 win for the Londoners.

Sissoko was shown only a yellow card for a high, late tackle on Stephen Ward a minute before he made Danny Rose's winning goal 20 minutes from time at White Hart Lane.

Ashley Barnes had given Burnley the lead after 20 minutes before Dele Alli equalised, and Dyche was left frustrated that his side had not secured a point.

"How they didn't get a man sent off is impossible," he told his postmatch news conference.
