A day after Kompany said refereeing standards in the Premier League this season have 바카라śnot been good enough바카라ť, the Belgian disputed Thomas Bramall바카라™s decision to award Wolves the free-kick from which Rayan Ait-Nouri cancelled out Jacob Bruun Larsen바카라™s goal deep into first-half stoppage time.

Ait-Nouri went down under a challenge from Dara O바카라™Shea, but Kompany said there had been no contact between the two.

바카라śDon바카라™t get me on referees again!바카라ť Kompany said.

바카라śBut if we have to, of course, it was an issue. If you do a pirouette and you fall on your own, absolutely no contact made, then it바카라™s just not a foul, I think we can all agree on this.

바카라śBut then as well the referee is in the best position ever, a really good position, he sees it, I can see it from three times as far as he is and for some reason, there바카라™s a decision made out of nothing.

바카라śThen I look at my own team, and how we defend the set-play, that바카라™s always the case, but yes, it바카라™s a repeat and it doesn바카라™t make it any easier.바카라ť

The draw extended Burnley바카라™s unbeaten run to four games, but the gap to safety grew to six points as Nottingham Forest beat Fulham 3-1.

Burnley were on top for much of the game, but could not make their dominance pay. However, Kompany saw it as a point gained rather than two lost.

바카라śWe played in every sense how we were supposed to,바카라ť he said.

바카라śWe were aggressive, we were on the front foot, we created chances. I feel at every level it was a good performance. I바카라™ll take the point and we go again.

바카라śI can only praise the players. They looked like a Premier League team today. It doesn바카라™t buy us any points or get us any higher in the league. Perhaps we belong a little bit higher if it hadn바카라™t been for so many bad decisions.

바카라śRight now we바카라™ve not earned the right to remain in the Premier League. All we need is a fighting chance, that바카라™s all. It was never going to be an easy season, it바카라™s not surprising we are where we are but what I can guarantee you is that until the very last moment we will keep fighting.바카라ť

Wolves boss Gary O바카라™Neil called the draw a 바카라śfair result바카라ť as his injury-hit side had to dig in to earn a point that takes them to 42 for the campaign, surpassing last season바카라™s total.

Ait-Nouri바카라™s header was his third goal in four for Wolves as he plays in a more advanced role while several forwards have been out injured.

Although the Algerian squandered a superb chance in the second half when played in one-on-one, O바카라™Neil is grateful for his goal-scoring form.

바카라śHe바카라™s doing unbelievably well with the changes and the different areas we바카라™re asking him to pop up in,바카라ť he said.

바카라śNot very often but occasionally he looks like a left-back, unfortunately those two times have been when he바카라™s six yards with just the goalkeeper to beat, but an unbelievable performance from him again.

바카라śBurnley would have fancied this. Wolves coming with no Pedro Neto, no Matheus Cunha, no (Hee Chan) Hwang, no (Jean-Ricner) Bellegarde, no (Craig) Dawson, Burnley would have seen this as a game they could go and try and win, definitely.

바카라śAnd the lads didn바카라™t look like a team that had reached 41 points and were happy to settle. I thought they fought, worked, showed moments of quality. I바카라™m really proud of what they produced and the situation is looking brighter.바카라ť
