Sam Allardyce felt Crystal Palace should have had the chance to equalise from the penalty spot against Burnley.
Burnley grabbed their first away win of the season and pulled clear of the drop zone with a 2-0 win at Palace.
However, Allardyce felt his side should have had the chance to equalise from the penalty spot after Jon Flanagan upended Wilfried Zaha.
"Flanagan took his heel from behind and it's a 100 per cent penalty," he said. "But I can't control that.
"The disappointment is the two goals we gave away and how easy it was for them to score.
"We were bad in the first half but I thought we were excellent in the second. We camped Burnley into their own half but we couldn't find a way through.
"It was very difficult when they got a goal in front and they could go deep into their penalty area and put lots of bodies in there, and it's hard to break that down. Teams who are better than us have found that out, but the disappointing thing for me was the two goals we gave away and how easily we allowed them to score.
"You have to give Burnley a lot of credit, they defended like we have done recently at places like Chelsea and Liverpool."
