Burnley boss Sean Dyche was left frustrated after defeat at Everton.

Dyche claims his side are being punished for playing the game the right way and not haranguing referees in order to win decisions.

Toffees goalscorer Kevin Mirallas escaped with only a yellow card for a studs-up challenge on George Boyd.

"I don't think fans want to see players surrounding referees. We don't - maybe we should because other teams would have for the Mirallas challenge," he said.

"It is impossible he stays on the football pitch. I have no clue (why it was not a red card) - high, late. I don't understand how he wasn't sent off.

"It is nothing about him as a person, it is just factually in my opinion a red-card challenge."

Dyche had no complaints with Ashley Barnes' red card.

"It was just two silly challenges, not malicious. I think to be fair this ref got that one right, that was good," he said.
