Portsmouth manager John Mousinho expressed confusion after a disallowed goal prevented his team from taking the lead in a 0-0 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor. After Burnley goalkeeper Gregoire Coudert attempted a punch, Marlon Pack lobbed the ball into an empty net, but the referee disallowed the strike due to an alleged foul by Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.
