Rodriguez Rues Penalty Call

Jay Rodriguez felt he should have had a penalty that could have changed the course of the Clarets’ final game of the season.

But the striker – who also had a goal disallowed by VAR – won’t let the last-day defeat to Brighton take the gloss off a memorable season.

Rodriguez was bundled to the ground inside the penalty area by Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens before either side had scored.

But referee Jon Moss didn’t blow and despite a compelling case for a spot-kick from the television pictures, VAR stood by the on-field decision to leave Rodriguez frustrated.
