Ben Mee is more concerned with the impact Burnley ’ s win could have on their bid for Premier League survival than the blow it has dealt to his old club Manchester City . Sale-born Mee captained City to victory in the FA Youth Cup in 2008 , just four months before the Abu Dhabi takeover , but was one of a number of youngsters who realised their futures lay elsewhere . Having achieved his Premier League ambitions with Burnley , the 25-year-old left back is desperate to keep them there over the final nine games of the season after a surprise win over the champions . Ben Mee says Burnley deserves a stroke of luck after this tackle was deemed OK by referee Andre Marriner . City right back Pablo Zabaleta clearly disagreed as the penalty should was waved away in his side 's 1-0 loss . Mee , with Burnley keeper Tom Heaton , says the win was 'definitely a statement ' for his side . ‘ We ’ re still in it as we always have been , but this is definitely a statement , ’ said Mee . ‘ Teams will be a bit shocked we ’ ve managed to get three points . City have got a lot to do now . ' I had a couple of mates in the City end and I ’ m driving two of them home so I ’ ll enjoy that. ’ Mee was relieved that referee Andre Marriner didn ’ t award a penalty for his challenge on Pablo Zabaleta late in the game . He added : ‘ You always worry the referee has seen it from an angle and will give it , but we deserve a bit of luck. ’ The left back attempts to console City 's Sergio Aguero after the match which ended in a massive upset . Mee , playing against the club he led to the Youth FA Cup , found himself in Marriner 's book .
