Sissoko's 'impossible' red card escape stuns Dyche

Sean Dyche was left exasperated after referee Kevin Friend failed to send Moussa Sissoko off for a high challenge in Burnley's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.

Sissoko, a second-half substitute for Mousa Dembele, was booked for catching Stephen Ward with a strong and high tackle which angered Burnley 20 minutes from time.

And just one minute later he played a pivotal role in Spurs' winner, charging through the centre and picking out Danny Rose, who supplied a crisp finish.

But Dyche is adamant that the Frenchman should not have been on the pitch to play that pass.
