Burnley Boss Sean Dyche Claims His Side Deserved Their 3-2 Win Over Crystal Palace

Published on: 05 November 2016

Sean Dyche has said his Burnley side showed great mentality in their 3-2 over Crystal Palace that put them 9th in the Premier League table.


His team needed to show character as substitute Connor Wickham pulled a goal back on the hour markafter Burnley went two goals up. And then ChristianBenteke equalised with 10 minutes left from the spot after Lowton was judged to have handballed Andros Townsend's cross.


Burnley had got off to a great start as they scored two goals in the opening 14 minutes. Sam Vokes netted the opener two minutes in, tapping in Steve Mandanda's parry. Gudmundsson then doubled their lead after being put through from a trademarkBurnley counter-attack.

However Burnley fought against Palace's spirited comeback and scored a 94th minute winner through Ashley Barnes.


Claret boss Sean Dyche has said that despite Palace's domination, his team deserved all three points at the final whistle.


"I think we deserved the points by the final whistle. It was a real ding-dong of a game. Both teams went at it and I've been really pleased with the mentality of the group to finish in such a good way.

"I thought we played with confidence, although at 2-0 we were a little bit nervy, and I was happy with the fantastic finish from Ashley Barnes.


"It's fantastic to be ninth in the table for a club like Burnley. There are questions asked of us in the Premier League but we're enjoying the ride."


Burnley travel to West Brom in their next Premier League fixture.
