MATCH of the Day pundits Ian Wright and Martin Keown both felt James Tarkowski was fortunate to get away with an elbow on Glenn Murray in Burnley's goalless draw at Brighton.
The Clarets centre back had already conceded one penalty against Murray, which the striker missed, before he elbowed him in the ribs in an off-the-ball incident in the box.
Wright said: ""He's walking in and he gets him, bam. It should have been a penalty."
But the pundits also slammed Albion substitute Jose Izquierdo for what Keown labelled a 'blatant dive' over Ben Mee.
And Wright called for the FA to take action against the winger.
"He doesn't get booked so nothing happens but they've got to be stamping that," the former Burnley striker said.
"Just because he doesn't get booked they don't do anything."
