Re: REPORT: And finally a second home win for the Clarets

“It was a game that saw a red card, Burnley win a rare penalty, from which Jacob Bruun Larsen scored our first goal, a red card, another goal from David Datro Fofana, a late battle to ensure we kept our lead and a team change that I think surprised everyone and certainly pleased most who were inside...

I'm unsure about that; I've not seen the incident back.

Maybe referees are allowed to halt play at appropriat...

It was embarrassing how long they had him stood there with nothing to see. I remain convinced that no one could have spent so long checking for an offside.

I don't believe the offside check theory - four defenders (including the goalkeeper) were playing Vitinho onside. It would have taken one look to confirm that.
