The result was a resounding one in the end, thanks to late goals from Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane but Burnley boss Dyche remains frustrated about the manner in which his side conceded the opener as he felt that Silva dived to trick the referee into pointing to the spot.
"If I kicked my kid in the garden he wouldn't fall like that," Dyche said after the game. "They call it simulation – I don't know why, because it's cheating.
"It's an art in itself to fall like that, with your hands in the air."
City boss Pep Guardiola has leaped to the defence of his summer signing as he rubbished Dyche's accusation.
And Silva is adamant that he didn't dive, maintaining that he was forced to the ground under contact from the onrushing stopper. "He clearly touched me, I felt it. I haven't seen the replay yet but I think it was a penalty," Silva said, via Manchester Evening News. "As I said, he touched me and my ankle turned. It hurt a little bit and for me it was a penalty."#PEP: It was a penalty. I saw it.
