Burnley captain Ben Mee delighted for fans after victory over Tottenham

Burnley captain Ben Mee was delighted with victory over Tottenham.

Mee headed home the winner on Wednesday night.

He said, "Just fantastic. The conditions were typical. The last few games here have been mental with the wind and the rain, but the fans have been fantastic. It was nice to get a winner.

"It was a great ball in, and I just saw the flight early. It's difficult to defend in these conditions with the wind swirling and I just read it a little bit better than he [Spurs defender Cristian Romero] did. I managed to get above him and all I had to do was finish it. Luckily, I managed to stick it in.

"I'm getting a few goals now which is nice. I'm always trying to get more, it's just nice [for me] to get a couple.

"The celebrations after the Brighton game were brilliant with the fans down there coming to support us and making a long trip.

"Tonight was another really special night. The last few games here have been bouncing, we've really enjoyed playing in front of the crowd and everyone's been on it. You just get that sense, that feeling and we're feeling good at the moment."
