Dyche said afterwards: “I just think the game has got to be careful. It’s a nudge in the back from our own player (Elliot Anderson on Aina), granted, it hits his arm. You just think ‘Where does this live?’

“We have got to be careful with all this. I don’t think you can give penalties for things like that. I don’t like half of the penalties that are given for handball nowadays, but I understand that’s the way the game is going and the rules are going.

“If that was on then, I’d be buzzing to get that one. I’d be thinking ‘Hallelujah’ because I don’t think it’s a penalty.”
