Burnley boss Sean Dyche says they were robbed of a point after seeing VAR rule out a late equaliser at Leicester City.

The Clarets looked to have levelled the scores up at 2-2 in the 80th minute at the King Power Stadium, when Chris Wood's effort cannoned off goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and hit team mate Jonny Evans on the chest before rolling into the gaping net.

However, following a lengthy delay, referee Jon Moss ruled out the goal after VAR referee Andy Madley spotted a 'trip' on Evans that he claimed stopped the fallen defender from clearing off the line.

But Dyche said: “Firstly, for the record I am a big fan of VAR. I think it will streamline and improve things.

“When it's used unwisely, like today, it's a head-scratcher and today we are probably a cautionary tale of its development.

“To start with, before the game the referee (Moss) told my coach that if he needed to use the screen at the side of the pitch, he would do, and to be tolerant if that was the case.

“He didn't use the screen and if you are not going to use it for instances like that, I'm not sure when you will ever use it.

“Going to the moment of truth, if goals start not being given for that, we're in trouble.

“Chris (Wood) has clearly not changed his running gait and if you look at his eyes they are only for the ball.

“The reason I'm bringing this level of detail up is that someone is sitting in a studio seeing everything I'm describing.

“They see 15 different angles of what I'm saying, and Chris is quite obviously not deliberately trying to trip the player up – for starters.

“Secondly, their lad is never going to get that ball and keep it out of the net in a million years.

“If he did, he'd be the quickest player on earth, so therefore in a game when people are falling over constantly every week, you just look at this incident and say 'it's a goal'."
