Curtis Davies and Billy Sharp clash on West Brom controversy that referee missed vs Burnley
After just eight minutes, Callum Styles was unfortunate to score in his own net after a lightning-quick counter-attack by the away side at The Hawthorns.
However, Albion fans and players were furious with referee Anthony Backhouse for failing to award James Morrison's men a free kick in the Burnley half.
Hannibal Mejbri clearly pulled Felix Horn Myhre over when he won the ball off the Norwegian midfielder, but no foul was given by Backhouse.
It's the latest controversy in what has been a headline-filled week at The Hawthorns after Aune Heggebo was unfairly hit with a two-match ban for his goal against Norwich.
Albion fans have now found themselves on the wrong end of a controversial decision, but Sky Sports' in-studio pundits didn't quite agree with one another when assessing it at half time.
What Billy Sharp and Curtis Davies said about Burnley's controversial goal
Ex-Sheffield United striker Sharp reckons that Backhouse got the decision right - but didn't explain why it was right.
He claims it wasn't given because of where it was on the pitch (like that matters?), but while ex-Baggies captain Davies didn't have much to say, he clearly thought that there was a foul on Myhre.
"Not an ideal start. First of all, I don't think it is a foul. I think the referee has got it [right]," said Sharp on Sky Sports Football at half time.
"I know why he's not given it, because of where it is on the pitch, but for me, it isn't a foul anyway.
"I'm not sure [Davies] is backing me up on this, though."
Davies then responded: "It's a tug."
What do the Laws of the game say?
You don't need to know the Laws of football to see that was a foul, but it's worrying that referee Backhouse - or one of his assistants - wasn't able to apply that.
They have to ask themselves, why did Myhre go down?
Hannibal clearly pulled at the Norwegian's shoulder/neck area as he was in possession of the ball, and then that made him fall backwards to the ground.
Law 12 says a direct free-kick should be awarded if a player "holds an opponent" or "impedes an opponent with contact".
If VAR was being used in the Championship, it might have ended up in that goal behind disallowed.
But we were lucky against Norwich last week with Heggebo's accidental handball leading to a goal and were unlucky this week with the foul on Myhre.
Things do balance out over time and we'd rather have that happen than have VAR water down what is one of the best leagues to watch in the world.
