Burnley boss Dyche full of praise for matchwinner Barnes

Burnley boss Sean Dyche hailed matchwinner Ashley Barnes after victory over Southampton.

Barnes also scored the winner against Hull and appears to have established himself as the regular strike partner for leading scorer Danny Ings.

Dyche signed the 25-year-old from Brighton in January, and he said: "He keeps going, he's an awkward customer.

"He can be clean at times, sometimes not so clean at others, but he's very awkward at this level. He's a newcomer, people won't know much about him and he sticks at it.

"His stats are through the roof and he'll give you everything."
