London - Burnley manager Sean Dyche has responded angrily to Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's criticism of referee Martin Atkinson and Clarets forward Ashley Barnes.
Mourinho was furious with Atkinson and Barnes after Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic was sent off for shoving the Burnley player in response to a nasty tackle high on his shin at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Struggling Burnley took advantage of their numerical superiority to snatch a shock 1-1 draw against the Premier League leaders, prompting Mourinho to slam Atkinson and describe Barnes' challenge as "criminal" during a lengthy television interview on Sunday.
