Burnley boss Sean Dyche frustrated after Sunderland stalemate

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was frustrated after their 0-0 draw at Sunderland.

Dyche admitted he thought his side's luck had finally changed in the dying stages when substitute Sam Vokes sprang the Sunderland offside trap to burst into the left side of the box but shot straight at Jordan Pickford.

"I did think when Vokes went through at the end and did everything right, struck it hard and low, that it might have been the moment but their keeper makes a great save," he said.

"(But) we're in good shape. We've got good points on the table considering everyone thought we'd get nothing, and there are nine games left.

"There's a lot of work to do. We've got to continue playing hard and doing all the details to get points. At the start of the season I think fans and the media would be surprised to see us sitting where we are now, but there is still work to do."
