Bilic backs Dyche on penalty complaint

Slaven Bilic agreed with Sean Dyche that West Ham's penalty winner should not have been given.

But he felt it balanced out after an early handball from Michael Keane in the box wasn't given as a spot kick: "With Heaton, I've seen it many times where it is given, I've seen worse decisions for goalkeepers that weren't given In England. My players were jumping for a ball, the ball came to Reidy and it looked like contact from behind, but I think one should have been given earlier, speaking honestly.

"But if he saw that as a foul, he's got a point."
