Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta explained refusing to protest over a nailed on penalty call being waved away during defeat to Burnley.

Zabaleta was tripped up by Ben Mee in injury time, only for Andre Marriner to wave play on.

Zabaleta told the Manchester Evening News: "I didn't say anything to the referee. People have talked about the way Chelsea players complained over Ibrahimovic - it's something in England people don't like it. I just try to respect the decision of the referee.

"I didn't say anything to him - after the game I just went to the dressing room very upset because I think it was a penalty.

"It could have been a big chance for us to score one goal and probably take at least one point. It was right at the end, but if we'd scored then we may have had one more chance to win it. So it's disappointing.

"I got sent off last season in Barcelona when I went to the referee and complained about Dzeko's penalty, so I try to have respect for referees now."
