Marco Silva has blasted referee Lee Probert’s decision to send off Marvin Zeegelaar as Watford narrowly lost to Burnley at Turf Moor.

Zeegelaar was given his marching orders after being penalised for a two-footed tackle on Steven Defour on 39 minutes.

Moments later Scott Arfield's neat finish gave the home side the lead in what proved to be the winning goal in a game between two managers who were heavily linked to the Everton manager's post.
