We got the balance right - Burnley boss Sean Dyche
Burnley have been keeping clean sheets, but struggling to score of late, but although Nick Pope was undeservedly denied a sixth shut out of the season by a last gasp penalty, the Clarets scored twice for the first time since the opening league game of the season, and could have had more.
As it was, Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood renewed their strike partnership, with both on target in a win which took the Clarets back out of the bottom three and up to 16th, a point behind Arsenal with a game in hand.

”I think at both ends of the pitch we operated well and we have been talking about the balance of that and how we could create better quality chances.
“We created good quality chances tonight and a number of them.
”If I am being super highly critical I thought the game could have been controlled earlier if we had taken some of those chances.
