Burnley midfielder Sander Berge admitted frustration after their 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest on Monday night.

Callum Hudson-Odoi hit a screamer to cancel out Zeki Amdouni's opener for the visitors to earn Forest a point. Lyle Foster was later sent off for Burnley.

Foster also had a goal disallowed by VAR for handball from Berge in the build-up.

The midfielder later said: "It was 50-50 between me and McKenna. I ran through. I'm in my normal running pattern. I don't know where to put my arms in that case. The referee asked me if I used my hand but it wasn't on purpose. I'm a bit surprised.

"I just ran through and used my body in the duel. I stayed in balance and tried to keep the ball with me. When I was celebrating the goal I wasn't thinking about if I handled it, I was celebrating 2-1."
