Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has slammed the decision to allow Luton Town's equaliser against his side on Friday evening.

The Clarets took the lead in the first half through Zeki Amdouni and would go on to hold this advantage throughout most of the game at Turf Moor. However, they ultimately did not walk away with all three points.

Luton full-back Alfie Doughty hung a lofted ball into the box, as Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford moved off his line to attempt to claim the ball. While doing so, he was seemingly blocked off by Elijah Adebayo, which allowed his teammate Carlton Morris to head his effort home in the 92nd minute, rescuing a point for The Hatters in the process.

Referee Tony Harrington did not deem the contact sufficient enough to be a foul, with VAR also not intervening in the incident, as Luton's goal would go on to stand in the Premier League clash.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Kompany made his feelings clear on the decision, where he outlined how 'disappointed' he was. "I'm sure you can imagine what is going through my mind at the moment," he said.

"Who was there for the Aston Villa game? Who was there for the Bournemouth game? Who was there for the [Nottingham] Forest game? What are we doing? Seriously.

"I don't understand how we can go through this phase, through these events and not come to the conclusion it's a foul. We have a striker who looks at the goalkeeper and then backs into him, then he has a look at the referee to see if he gets away with it.

"Ball goes in, none of the Luton players celebrate. I was thinking in my head, 'Surely? Surely that will be given a foul', and then I see it's going to be the clear and obvious error again and we'll have the same discussion that we have every single time.

"How many times is it going to keep happening? Consequences? Zero. I'm shocked and disappointed."
