Sean Dyche dismayed by manner of home defeat to Arsenal

Burnley manager Sean Dyche questions the decision to add on further additional time at the end of the game after seeing Arsenal nick a winner right at the death.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has admitted that he is hugely frustrated after seeing his side miss out on a point against Arsenal in controversial circumstances.

The Clarets looked to have done enough to deny their opponents victory at Turf Moor, having restricted the Gunners to just two shots on target during normal time.

Arsenal scored the breakthrough goal two minutes into added time, however, coming after a cross into the box was nodded on by Theo Walcott for a mixture of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Laurent Koscielny to help the ball over the line.

Dyche was unhappy with the manner of the goal, with Scott Arfield leaving his position on the line where he would have been perfectly stationed to keep the ball out, which clearly hit Koscielny's hand on its way through to pile on further misery.

"You have to question the added time, the corner and whether it should have come in, the handball and question whether we should have dealt with it," he told Sky Sports News. "It's a poor way to end a game. We are disappointed in that but encouraged by the performance. We were taking on one of the super power clubs.

"Obviously it's the ultimate frustration with the last 10 seconds or so. There's not point in trying to pass them off the park. We wanted to get the ball forward quickly and earn the right to score a goal. Defensively you have to be diligent about your work. The mood in the dressing room is not low, we know what the challenge is.

"It's more one of frustration because they have done enough to earn a point after keeping a good side quiet. Our goalkeeper Tom Heaton has not had much do and almost saved the goal. We're the minnows of the division and not got the spending power so we are learning. There's a lot of positives to come out of this."

Burnley, who remain in 14th place in the Premier League table following their fourth defeat of the season, return to action in two weeks' time when they face Southampton.
