Everton had to settle for a point on the road as the two sides battled out a 0-0 at Turf Moor.
With key players already missing, Evertn travelled without Jack Grealish, who was ruled out with a virus.
Grealish’s absence handed Dibling an opportunity. Indeed, the youngster was one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise turgid display.
The Toffees are now three games without a goal and barely laid a glove on relegation-threatened opposition today.
Alcaraz attempted an overhead kick while Beto forced Martin Dubtavka into a good save just after the hour mark.
It was another game that highlighted the lack of depth within the squad. Indeed, of the six outfield substitutes, four of them had yet to make their full Premier League debut.
OPPORTUNITY MISSED AT BURNLEY, BUT A COMPLAINT MUST BE MADE REGARDING PENALTY APPEALS
However, for the second consecutive week, Everton had a legitimate penalty appeal turned down.
With four minutes of the 90 to play, a Tyler Dibling effort struck a Burnley hand. Despite a VAR review, no penalty was awarded.
Moyes criticised the inconsistency of Premier League officials after last week’s defeat to Arsenal.
The Toffees fell to a 1-0 defeat to Mikel Arteta’s side, and were once again denied a clear cut spot kick.
There’s no doubt it’s time the club made an official complaint about the consistency of such instances.
With minutes remaining, Moyes inexplicably withdrew Dibling. The winger had been our only real creative threat. Nathan Patterson came on in his place.
The result leaves the Blues in 11th place in the table as an opportunity passes us by at Turf Moor.
Poverty chanting from opposition fans and a penalty appeal turned down. Does anyone else feel a sense of deja vu?
No prizes for guessing what game will be last on Match of the Day this evening.
