Andoni Iraola bemoaned Bournemouth’s finishing as well as one major VAR flashpoint during their goalless draw with Burnley.

Scott Parker's verdict on Burnley's 'missed opportunity' against Bournemouth

Neither side were able to find the breakthrough in what was a fairly even encounter at Turf Moor.

Both sides had their chances, with the Cherries starting and ending the game well, while Burnley were on top in between.

It left both managers disappointed at the end of the game, with Iraola choosing to highlight a refereeing decision that went against his side when Evanilson wasn’t awarded a penalty after going to ground inside the box under pressure from Bashir Humphreys.

“Frustration,” he said. “Frustrated today because I think we did more than enough to score. I think we missed a lot of chances.

“We do a lot of very good things, but you don't score the goal, you don't make the difference.

“Especially at the beginning of the game, and at the end of the game, I think we had such clear chances that at this level you have to score, you have to punish the opposition. We didn't do it and it's one of the reasons why we couldn't win.

“I've just checked the stats, we have almost three xG, 20 shots. We started the game, first minute, going around the keeper. You know, there are chances that at this level you have to take and it's costing us a lot of points.

“Also, I complain there is a clear penalty on Evanilson. I cannot understand why they don't call it with the VAR. Even live, it's an easy penalty to call. It's not a difficult one.

“They will tell us in three days it was a penalty, but we don't win the game. He just kicks Evanilson. He knows what he's doing, it's not like he puts his body in between. He kicks Evanilson and it's a pen. You don't need a lot of replays.

“They were checking because now we have the option to watch it on the bench. So I was thinking: ‘okay, they're checking, they're checking, they're going to call it’, but it didn't happen.”
