Burnley manager Sean Dyche has blamed officiating for his side\u2019s 2-1 loss to Arsenal ib the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Dyche was also critical of referee Mike Dean\u2019s decision to award handball against Ben Mee in the build-up to Arsenal\u2019s first goal.<\/p>\n

The defender was penalised for handling outside of the area and from the resulting free-kick, Lacazette worked the opening goal.<\/p>\n

The Clarets boss lamented Arsenal players diving and the rules surrounding simulation..<\/p>\n

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed the winner in the second half after Ashley Barnes had cancelled out Alexander Lacazette\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BT Sports after the game, he said, \u201cI\u2019m really worried about the game of football. People falling on the floor, diving all over the place today has got to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at a Premier League meeting recently and did you know the maximum you can get is a yellow card? Every single player in the Premier League can cheat at least once.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to stop, do you? I doubt it, unlikely I would suggest.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIt\u2019s a big decision, a wrong decision in my book. You can clearly see Ben Mee is trying to get his arm behind his back as far as he can,\u201d Dyche explained after the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lad kicks it up at him and he flinches. For me, that\u2019s an impossible handball. I know there\u2019s a lot of noise about silhouettes but I don\u2019t know where he can put his arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat does inevitably lead to the goal. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t want to cry about it, we could have cleared it, we had other chances to clear it but it is disappointing when you don\u2019t get those decisions as it allows them another phase of attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
