Huddersfield 0 Burnley 0 match highlights: Sean Dyche's men go five games winless after being denied TWO stonewall penalties | The Sun

Burnley were denied a richly-deserved victory by an awful double- clanger from referee Paul Tierney.

He refused to award the dominant Clarets a 61st minute penalty, even though they appeared to have TWO stonewall claims for a spot kick in the same move.

Scott Arfield was probably too honest for his own good as he stayed onhis feet in the Huddersfield box despite a clear shove in the back from Terriers substitute Tommy Smith.

Arfield managed to stab the ball into the path of Jeff Hendrick, who was brought down by Jonas Lossl’s trailing leg as he rounded the Terrier keeper, with the goal at his mercy.

Amazingly, Tierney waved away both appeals.

That bought a dismayed response from the Burnley players, and a furious touchline reaction from Clarets boss Sean Dyche.

He threw up his arms in disbelief, and pointed to his own eyes in front of fourth official Michael Oliver – although it was clearly not is wn eyesight he was questioning.

That incident probably convinced Dyche and his men that this was a game they were simply not destined to win, despite giving the disappointing Terriers a real runaround.

Burnley were all over the home team from the opening minutes, and they carved out a host of glorious chances early on – only to spurn the lot.

Iceland winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson was on fire, and his mesmerising runs and superb dead ball deliveries caused constant mayhem.

The Clarets had the ball in the net from one of Gudmundsson’s teasing free kicks after just 13 minutes.

But this time the officials were right to decide Hendrick was offside when he foced the ball home, after Lossl had done well to beat away Kevin Long’s point blank header.

Gudmundsson and Steven Defour also sent efforts flashing inches wide of the target while Arfield’s glancing header was not too far way either.

Huddersfield offered precious little in response, and could count themselves lucky to stretch their unbeaten run to four games.
