Sean Dyche: 'Burnley deserved to beat Stoke City'

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says that his side deserved their 2-1 win against Stoke City in the Premier League despite a late barrage from the Potters.

Sean Dyche has insisted that Burnley deserved their 2-1 win against Stoke City on Saturday despite a sustained period of pressure from the hosts at the Britannia Stadium.

Jonathan Walters had pulled a goal back for the Potters after Danny Ings scored twice in quick succession to give Burnley a two-goal lead.

After the game, Dyche told the BBC: "We took a 2-0 lead and I thought we deserved it with our counter-attacking football. At 2-0 down Stoke had nothing to lose. They kept coming at us.

"Our will and desire to win was fantastic, but that's something that you have to build and work on. Our players are learning and developing. We know we're never going to roll through the Premier League, slotting the ball around. We have to win and we did that, but we have to find different ways of winning.

"Now we have two wins, but we need more. I believe we can do what is deemed the impossible and make it possible. We have been written off by everyone. At the start of the season I said we were one of the biggest underdogs in many years."

The result lifted Burnley to 18th in the Premier League table.
