Dyche’s Burnley was pissed last weekend when Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva won a penalty from a challenge with Clarets goalkeeper Nick Pope that set City on their way to a 3-0 victory.

Even after a Wednesday night’s disappointing DFB Pokal exit, Ralph Hasenhuttl was visibly in a very good mood on Friday. “I think the game was so much fun that we’re really looking forward to the next match,” said the RB Leipzig coach, smiling.
