Burnley News: Dyche dreams of Europe; Barnes declares 'amazing isn't it?'

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits Europe could happen for them this season.

Super-sub Ashley Barnes struck a late winner against Stoke on Wednesday to secure a vital three points for the Clarets.

And with it he fired his side into the top four for the first time since 1975!

Dyche said: “It's a run of results and a start which the fans are enjoying and rightly so.

“Football is about realities but also about dreams.

“It's a tough task for us winning games at this level but Leicester blew the roof off dreams in football – there's no bold statement from me on that."

Meanwhile, matchwinner Barnes is delighted for the club as they sit in the top four.

“Amazing isn't it? That's what you work hard for on the training ground and luckily enough it paid off," said Barnes.

“It's frustrating when you're not starting but the lads have been tremendous.

“It's a squad game and if I can help the team out in any way then times like that tonight it makes me happy.

“That's what we're waiting in the wings for. When your chance comes you've got to go out and perform and it's been tremendous from all the boys."
