Sean Dyche Says Burnley Deserved to Win Against Hull City

Published on: 10 September 2016

Sean Dyche has said that Burnley should have claimed all three points, after Hull City stole a draw with a last gasp equaliser.


Burnley had led the game at Turf Moor when new signing, Steven Defour, scored a stunning solo effort. However, the Clarets were denied their second win of the season when Robert Snodgrass scored a free-kick in the 95th minute.


He said, "It's the way it goes, it is the reality of football. You have to see the game off until the last minute and we pretty much did, to be fair.

"I think Ben Mee has gone to block it and he's just slipped as he's gone to make the block and caught the lad and they've put in a good free-kick.


"But other than that I'm very pleased with the performance. After the first 15 minutes we looked a bit nervous, a bit tentative but we built into the game and gave a very good all-round performance, I felt.


"It was a game of few chances and a game of two cagey sides. They have been playing like that, we know that, dropping in and trying to counter at times and we have been trying to press teams and play on the front foot, play with two up front and we did that quite well at times.

"We didn't open up as many times but it is difficult when they have lots of men behind the ball so, a close affair, but I think we did enough to edge it overall."


Hull had been competitive throughout the match and may have felt unfortunate to go behind. Meyler and Davies both hit the post either side of a great Diomande opportunity before finally finding the breakthrough in the last minute.
