Burnley boss Dyche tells media: Guys, there's more to us than Hart!

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is keen to ease the spotlight on England goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The summer signing turned in another impressive display on a successful night of Europa League action at Turf Moor.

Thursday's 1-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir was Hart's best performance yet, with a series of impressive saves from visiting winger Edin Visca keeping Dyche's side in the game and paving the way for Jack Cork's extra-time blockbuster.

"I'm surprised you're not fed up, we've been talking about him for two weeks," Dyche said when quizzed about Hart's contribution.

"I made a lot of the display of the team. There were a lot of really good performances - Ashley Barnes had an interrupted pre-season, Westy (Ashley Westwood) was excellent, the two centre-halves were absolutely top class. They deserve just as many mentions.

"Jeff (Hendrick) as well, and sometimes the fans can question him. But Joe definitely played his part, just so you're happy."
