Burnley boss Sean Dyche was left frustrated after their 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
Dyche says Scott Arfield is "brave enough to take the outcome" of the penalty miss that denied Burnley their first Barclays Premier League win of the season.
"That's just the way it is," said Dyche.
"If you're brave enough to take it, you have to be brave enough to take the outcome.
"He's terrific: a terrific person and a terrific player. I haven't even mentioned it to him.
"It would be sad if it was the end of the world if a person missed a penalty, it would be a weird place to live.
"He's a terrific lad, the lads admire him for his work ethic and his quality - and so do our fans.
"It's just one of those things."
