Burnley boss Dyche keeps cool after Mourinho Barnes blast

Burnley boss Sean Dyche refused to hit back at Chelsea rival Jose Mourinho after their 1-1 draw.

Mourinho believed Ashley Barnes should've been sent off for the visitors.

"I've only seen it as it happened. It looked like a coming together at an odd angle. Then Matic reacts in the way he did," Dyche said.

"I will look back at it again, but I haven't seen it since. But there's more to talk about than that because it was an excellent performance.

"Barnes was involved in something earlier in what sense? Playing football? A charge in the back? Is there anything else? The grass was too short?

"I have total respect for Jose Mourinho, his players and Chelsea. Fantastic manager, fantastic club."
