Spurs' Mauricio Pochettino: Moussa Sissoko tackle wasn't a red card

LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino says he "understands" Sean Dyche's fury after Moussa Sissoko escaped a red card in Tottenham's 2-1 win over Burnley on Sunday.

Sissoko was given only a yellow card for a high, late tackle on Stephen Ward, a minute before he assisted Danny Rose's brilliant winner. Burnley manager Dyche said it was "impossible" that the France international did not see red.

But the Spurs boss told a postmatch news conference: "It's difficult for you to understand that it's difficult for me to have the opportunity to see on TV, but it was impossible for me and from my position.
