Burnley boss Dyche: Barnes genuine modern day striker

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Ashley Barnes' work off the ball deserves greater recognition.

Barnes signed a new deal with Burnley last week.

"He's certainly in a rich vein of form! A lot of his work goes unnoticed, (with) what he does for the team," the Clarets chief said.

"Strikers inevitably are judged on their goals, but he does a lot of work.

"People use the word old-fashioned, but it's never been more modern, at times, the way he plays, because he's hard to deal with.

"That's the job of a striker."
