Sean Dyche launched an attack into Arsenal's gamesmanship following Burnley's 3-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium.

“We’re on about blatant, no touch, no contact; about phantom touches and people just jumping up in the air and going over. The absolute cheating, dives. No one seems to want to do anything about it, apart from me," ranted Dyche.

The Burnley manager also called out Granit Xhaka, saying "[Matej] Vydra goes through and touches Xhaka marginally on his shoulder and Xhaka goes down and gets a free-kick. It’s centre-halves now – going down after hardly anything. Incredible".

In a brief exchange with Unai Emery following the final whistle, Dyche wished Emery "all the best. Have a good Christmas.’”
