Now I know I am bound to be biased, but surely it is time to look at the laws surrounding the professional foul on a player who is through on goal.

Danny Ings was cynically denied a goal-scoring opportunity in injury time on Saturday. The offender was rightly sent off but all Burnley got for their troubles was a free kick 40 yards from goal which came to nothing.

Surely the law should be changed and a penalty awarded.
