Burnley boss Dyche happy with his players in Swansea defeat

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was happy with his players in defeat to Swansea City.

The Clarets lost 3-2 to a late Fernando Llorente winner.

"I always try and call it right, I thought they were a good side," Dyche said.

“I thought they were before, by the way, the strange thing about players, a change of manager, and they certainly changed because they weren't playing like that, or trying like that, under the last manager - that's the madness of what we do.

"But I'm surprised they are where they are, I look at the money they've spent, the players and experience they've got. I'm really surprised, but that's the madness of football, it sometimes catches teams out.

"Second half we dealt with them better, got our shape better, and calmed the situation, scored a good goal, could have had another very soon after - and I think that would have been it done - and inevitably we come away frustrated scratching our head at a decision unfortunately."
