Burnley boss Dyche frustrated over Wood denial for Watford draw

Burnley boss Sean Dyche felt they could've done more for their 0-0 draw with Watford.

The Clarets spurned a host of good chances before a stoppage time goal from Chris Wood, wiped out for offside, was later shown to be onside.

Dyche said: “I think most people will consider that goal to be onside and I thought it was at the time.

“You can often tell by how teams react with their body language, and that's how it felt.

“Seeing it again after the game it looks onside but we know we have found it tough to get big decisions this year – and beyond.

“I think we're something like 65 Premier League games without a penalty now, which is a statistical anomaly, but I don't want to cry it in because we were really good today.

“In the end a big call has cost us, but I thought the officials did very well today other than that and form our point of view it was a very, very strong performance.

“It's not easy coming down here anyway and they started well, but I felt we grew into the game and once we did that I don't think we really looked back."

Dyche added: “We stayed on the front foot and probably my only gripe other than the decision is we created enough chances - good chances and a couple of golden chances – to seal the game.

“That's probably the thing we look at in ourselves because decisions are out of our hands. We created enough today and should have taken one."
