Ronald Koeman insists Everton did not deserve to lose at Burnley – and was left to rue his side’s missed chances.
Yannick Bolasie had appeared to rescue a point for the Toffees after cancelling out Sam Vokes’ opener.
However, Scott Arfield struck in injury time to move the hosts up to 14th in the Premier League.
“It is hard to take because sometimes football can be so unfair. We did not deserve to lose. We did so many good things but finally the result is not what we want,” Koeman told BBC Sport.
“We started well, maybe we dropped a bit for the last 20 minutes of the first half. We played well in the second half, we had a good reaction and had enough chances to score.
“Burnley were very well organised and dropped back, it was difficult but I thought we played well in that time. To travel back without any points is really very disappointing. It’s one of those days when you cannot believe you lost the game.”
