Burnley boss Sean Dyche bemoaned refereeing decisions after his side slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Swansea City on their Premier League return on Saturday.
A second-half tap-in from Leroy Fer proved to be the difference at Turf Moor but Dyche believes Burnley should have been awarded an “obvious” penalty beforehand.
The Clarets boss claims Michael Keane was impeded as he came close to heading his team in front and was baffled referee Jonathan Moss did not point to the spot.
"I'm a little bit aggrieved that we didn't get Michael Keane's one," Dyche told reporters.
"I think it was a really obvious one, particularly for the linesman. We didn't get much going for us last time on decisions and there was a big one today.

"Keane's got a header on the back stick from two yards and he can't quite make it because the lad has quite obviously got hold of his shirt.
"We saw it, I don't know how the linesman can't see it, but it didn't get given."
Dyche also fumed at what he believes was a dive from Swansea winger Modou Barrow which went unpunished by Moss.
He added: "I try to get my lads not to fall on the floor. I think there were a number of them that were interesting. We try and do things properly but it's harsh when you don't get those decisions.
"You're dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. We try and play fair, we don't want to be falling on the floor and then you don't get anything. I'm not enjoying that side of it.
"I've spoken to the powers-that-be and said, 'Are you going to bring in retrospective banning for cheating?' I don't think that will change it but I would like to see it change. I don't want to see that and I don't want my kid growing up seeing that.''
