Burnley captain Tom Heaton: We can't go through season with no away wins!

Burnley captain Tom Heaton says they can't go through the season without an away win.

Heaton insists Burnley are 'desperate' to avoid becoming the seventh team not to win an away game in a Premier League season.

"We're not looking at it like that," Heaton told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. “Of course you don't want that sort of accolade following you around but we'll focus on what's right in front of us.

“The next one is a home game against United on Sunday and we'll prepare for that.

“I think it's been building. We've had some decent performances away but that win is still elusive.

“(The performance at Everton) is certainly up there, certainly one of the better ones. We moved the ball well, mixed it well and made it uncomfortable for them.

“It was just a shame that we couldn't capitalise on that. We looked dangerous, we kept them relatively quiet, although they have a formidable strike force.
