Robbie Blake believes Burnley are getting a raw deal from referees because they are "a small club".

The veteran forward opened the scoring in the derby against Blackburn on Sunday but finished on the losing side.

He was incensed that referee Chris Foy allowed Franco di Santo's goal to stand, claiming that goalkeeper Brian Jensen had been impeded.

Blake said: "The decisions did not go our way and that is because we are a small club called Burnley.

"We are never going to get these decisions - referees think we do not deserve them.

"It is just one of those things and we have got to roll our sleeves up and get on with it."
