"It was heartbreaking for us really, because we deserved [a point]. Second half, we were incredible. To score five goals in 60 minutes, it's full credit to us really. VAR and the fine margins of technology to the inch of a sleeve calling something offside is the game of football we live in now."
"I don't think I can remotely even contemplate speaking about the negatives really. The positives in terms of our reaction, three goals down, the fight, the spirit to get back into the game, two goals disallowed by the finest of margins were defining for us."
"The emotion I feel now is a little bit sad for the players. I'm immensely proud of this group. The adversity we faced. We gave ourselves an absolute mountain to climb, and that mountain was as big as Mount Everest. I thought we were superb, so I'm immensely proud."
Burnley faced Brentford in a seven-goal thriller at Turf Moor, recovering from 3-0 down after 34 minutes to level at 3-3. Zian Flemming's second goal was ruled out for offside via VAR review. After Brentford regained the lead through Mikkel Damsgaard, Burnley was denied a last-gasp equaliser when Ashley Barnes was penalised for handball. Manager Scott Parker praised the team's second-half performance and fighting spirit, describing the disallowed goals as heartbreaking given the fine margins involved. Burnley remains eight points from safety in the relegation zone.
