DYCHE ANGER AT POISON PEN

But his side have not had a spott kick in the top flight since Sam Vokes scored at Everton last April, while Swansea’s last penalty was Sunderland in December 2016.

Burnley were awarded one of the strangest penalties of last season on their last trip to Swansea in March, when Anthony Taylor awarded one for handball – even though Vokes was the offender.

Dyche said: “It would be nice,” he said. “But you can’t guarantee it.” SEAN DYCHE believes it is time that Burnley’s penalty misfortunes changed – but is hoping that Swansea’s do not.

The Clarets and the Swans are the only two sides still waiting for their first Premier League penalty of the season as they meet at the Liberty Stadium today.

Burnley manager Dyche (right) thinks, in the modern game, it is extraordinary any side could go this far into a season without being awarded a league penalty.
