Dyche hits back

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has responded angrily to Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's criticism of referee Martin Atkinson and Clarets forward Ashley Barnes.

Mourinho was furious with Atkinson and Barnes after Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic was sent off for shoving the Burnley player in response to a nasty tackle high on his shin at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

But in an interview with Burnley TV on Monday, which Dyche claimed was necessary to "give a balanced view" on the game's events, the Burnley boss defended Barnes' tackle.

"When moments like that occur, it's very rare there is not a reaction to that moment in the stadium," Dyche said.

"Look at the reaction from a bunch of expert footballers from the Chelsea side - the likes of John Terry, Kurt Zouma, Branislav Ivanovic - big, strong boys who are on top of this moment.
